The point is: It's not just 2 (two) directories, but several of them, |
| 32 |
and I just can't see myself creating a partition (or an LV) for each |
| 33 |
and everyone of them. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
So, here's my thoughts: |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
There are 2 filesystems that are suitable for different purposes: |
| 38 |
* reiserfs = for space efficiency (w/o notail option) and/or no inode# |
| 39 |
limitation |
| 40 |
* ext4 = for general purpose |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
The directories I'm going to split: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
/usr/share ==> ext4 |
| 45 |
/usr/portage ==> reiserfs |
| 46 |
/usr/portage/packages ==> ext4 |
| 47 |
/usr/portage/distfiles ==> ext4 |
| 48 |
/usr/src ==> reiserfs |
| 49 |
/var/cache/rtorrent (don't ask) ==> reiserfs |
| 50 |
/var/spool/postfix ==> ext4 |
| 51 |
/var/lib/postgresql ==> ext4 |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Now, I create 2 partitions: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
/dev/sdc1 (reiserfs) --> /mnt/Persistent1 |
| 56 |
/dev/sdd1 (ext4) --> /mnt/Persistent2 |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Then I create subdirectories: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
/mnt/Persistent1/portage |
| 61 |
/mnt/Persistent1/src |
| 62 |
/mnt/Persistent1/rtorrent |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
/mnt/Persistent2/share |
| 65 |
/mnt/Persistent2/packages |
| 66 |
/mnt/Persistent2/distfiles |
| 67 |
/mnt/Persistent2/postfix |
| 68 |
/mnt/Persistent2/postgresql |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
Finally, I need to redirect the directories-I-want-to-split to the |
| 71 |
above subdirs under /mnt/Persistent[12] |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
SO. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
mount -o bind ... or ln -s ? |
| 76 |
|
