See at: root's home dir has traditionally been / just to ensure that it is alway present and an emergency login is likely to suceed without error. Putting it in the rootfs instead of, say a /home partition, is just more of the same hedging. Sure, you might be able to get away with putting root on the non-root partition when things are working well, but I suspect you'll be cursing yourself the first time the system coughs up a hairball and can't mount ~root/ and asks you to perform brain surgery on the filesystem. (I do have a few aliases for root that makes life nicer and the anacondia install logs are nice to look at also if one needs to mkfs a trashed fs with the same format flags and repopulate from the last backup. -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
