That is about the only place, other than filesystems (plural)under /var/opt
and /export which makes sense to turn into its ownfilesystem, and only so that
maximum compression can be turnedon, because logs compress well.
If you were working with me, AND we were not using ZFS, AND youwanted to
slice up / into separate filesystems, I would veto itimmediately, because it is
a complete and utter waste.
With ZFS, it doesn't matter how many filesystems you wanted toslice, since
they draw only as much capacity as they need frompooled storage.
Note however that the original author is using a fully virtual-ized Linux
instance with LVM, so he does not have the luxury ofZFS.
