"Why do you make a separate mount point for /usr?". In the old days of UNIX/SunOS, the hard drives were small and we were forced to have separate mount points for /, /var, /usr, /opt, /usr/openwin for SunOS, /home. This and the possibility of actually filling a filesystem to 100% were the only real reasons for separating the filesystems that I was ever given. In the Sun world, Sun recommends two paritions: / and swap. (We use three: / /var [at the request of our support vendor], and swap. Changes were made in the default configuration of the filesystem so that it would never fill up. Large hard drives since 18G-36G have more than enough space for the OS. In the Red Hat world, the default does not separate the filesystems. This was mentioned in the RHEL classes. (/boot, /, swap are all I remember.) Ubuntu goes to two paritions: / and swap. Also, the fact that more filesystems means more work. The less work, details, etc., the easier the work is. The volume of work is so mundane and so much that I reduce all the extra work I can. Now if I could only get the Oracle DBAs to understand that Oracle uses Linux internally.... -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
