Plus if you use LVM or some other similar software, you can expand as |
| 19 |
needed. I have /boot and / on regular file systems for simple booting. |
| 20 |
I have /usr and /var on their own partition. Obviously /home is on it's |
| 21 |
own and on multiple hard drives at that. Since I did my install on this |
| 22 |
rig, I've had to expand /usr at least twice, maybe three times. I've |
| 23 |
also had to expand /var as well. If one doesn't use LVM or similar, |
| 24 |
then you have to redo pretty much everything or reinstall. I've done |
| 25 |
that in the past and I learned to use LVM. One day, I may switch to |
| 26 |
BTFS, sp?, or similar. That said, LVM works fine for me at the moment. |

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've had a log file go crazy and fill |
| 29 |
up /var. My system continued to run just fine. However, if it was on |
| 30 |
the same file system as / is on, that could have created problems. |
| 31 |
Could even cause a crash and may not even reboot normally either. Just |
| 32 |
depends on what must store things there I guess. |

Just thoughts. Each has to do things to suit their situation. |
