Hello,
I am planning to manually install Dragonfly on my laptop. The root file
system in my current installation is hammer2, but I have created no PFSs. I want
to change this in my next installation. Also, I will add a section on multiboot
with DragonFly on UEFI machines to the online documentation. However, before
that I need you to help me with the disk layout. The official documentation
(https://www.dragonflybsd.org/docs/handbook/environmentquickstart/, see the
section "Disk layout of a New Dragonfly BSD System using the HAMMER file
system") recommends creating separate PFSs for /var, /var/crash, /var/tmp, /usr,
/usr/obj, /tmp, and /home and null-mounting them to their respective mount
points. Recently, it was suggested to me to create a separate PFS for /build and
null-mount /var, /var/cache, /var/crash, /var/spool, /var/log, /var/tmp, and
/usr/obj to respective mount points created on the /build PFS. Does having a
separate PFS for /build offer an advantage over the officially recommended
layout? If yes, can this layout be combined with the officially recommended to
get the best of both worlds?
I would be happy to get recommendations for layouts
that best utilise the power and advantages of hammer2.
As mentioned above, I am planning to create a section in the documentation on
this. Should I initially pack it under "2. Installation" or under "15. DragonFly
boot process"? Of course, after the initial post, we can edit that and move
respective parts of it to more suitable places in the documentation.
Or maybe I should initially create a separate section in the Handbook?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Martin
