I have 4 HD's at this moment and place for 2 more. 1 will always be seperate (hda) for tests, the others I would like to have as a LVM, but I want to know the risks beforehand. I do not see the use of an LVM per HD. Say I have 1 HD that is /home. What would I gain if I use LVM only on that drive. I have no interest in making it smaller and I can't make it bigger. > > Many people will have something like /music or /Pr0n that they share with > > otheres and thus not place it in /home > > To me it is not completely clear where in fhs you should place user data > > that you share with others.

If there is no fixed place, you will get in trouble. Many places use the first letter and the last name of a person as a login. And suddenly there is 'Simon Hare' starting for you. I also understand that you then need to give him another login. I am very much aware that you can palce it anywhere you like. I would just think that it would be solved from within fhs. A fixed place to put shared data that you are able to edit (if you have the proper rights). As Linux is a multiuser system, I doubt that I am the first person who ever thought of that. It just seems logical to have a standard for it, even if it is in /home. All the rest is having a standard. -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > > Today I went outside.
