But far more chance of running out of space on /usr, /var or /opt while
one of the others has plenty free. I prefer to have these three on the
same partition for a desktop, but separate from /. I use the bind option
to mount /var and /opt on /usr/var and /usr/opt
$ grep bind /etc/fstab
/usr/var /var auto bind 0 0
/usr/opt /opt auto bind 0 0
