I never set /usr separated from / especially on a server : if there's a bug |
| 29 |
for any reason, nothing works ! (emerge is in /usr, gcc, ssh doesn't start). |

| 31 |
But you are the one who decide ! |

This is my partition system : |
| 34 |
/ ext3/4 |
| 35 |
/home ext3/4 |
| 36 |
/var reiserfs |
| 37 |
/tmp tmpfs |
| 38 |
/tmp_portage tmpfs (specifically for emerge, so I can mount or unmount it when |
| 39 |
large compil start) |
| 40 |
/mnt/portage reiserfs (shared via nfs) |
| 41 |
/mnt/distfiles ext3/4 (shared via nfs) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I am available for any explanation. For the ones who read french I have |
| 44 |
written a doc on my website concerning my choices. |
