If you take /var off its own partition and put it on /, then it will |
| 13 |
fill up / instead of /var. Filling up /var, not the end of the world. |
| 14 |
Filling up / is a bad thing. |

BTW, I have /var on its own partition. This moving things to / and not |
| 17 |
being able to have /usr, /var and such makes me really nervous. I have |
| 18 |
about double the needed space on /var and I still have had it fill up |
| 19 |
not once but several times. Think OOo build here. If /var didn't have |
| 20 |
its own partition, I would have had a crashed system and would have had |
| 21 |
to use a another bootable medium to clean out some stuff so it would |
| 22 |
boot again. I'm just glad I am setting at my system. If it was remote, |
| 23 |
I would be VERY pissed at whoever started this / only stuff. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
I guess next /home will have to be on / too. Since everything else is |
| 26 |
moving that way, why not. May as well lose everything and be done with |
| 27 |
it. Right? |

Just a users point of view. A long time Gentoo user I might add. I |
| 30 |
still have my 1.4 CD. |
