If you didn't plan out what you were going to deploy on the machine in question there isn't much reason to expect extra space to be sitting around in one place more than any other. That is, if you do have /var on a separate partition, you probably planned the size for what you already have there. And it's probably easier to add /opt as a separate partition than to move /var in a typical RH layout. > We will most likely not go the route of having two separate packages, > one /opt layout and one FHS layout. Moving locations is always traumatic. Personally I like stand-alone packages that aren't going to be installed on every machine you have to live under /opt, but if it is ever going to move, do it soon to minimize the number of people who will be affected by already having it installed in the wrong place. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list Fedora-directory-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users
