I've always seen the need for shrink as an indicator that someone had poor planning along the way, or insufficient tools for provisioning to start with. Sure, there are exceptions, but in general who needs shrink on a regular basis?
The point isn't so much that you need it on a regular basis, it's that when you need it, you *really* need it. I'll buy the poor planning argument on a server that does pretty much the same thing for the entirety of its life/deployment, but the case of a laptop/desktop that goes years without being reinstalled, and then unexpectedly needs tens of gigabytes of space to bisect a kernel bug is very different. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno@xxxxxxxxx -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ======================================================================== _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
