Personally, I would have done it slightly=20 differently: =2D create a partition with /home, /usr, /tmp, /var directories =2D mount this somewhere, say /stuff =2D mount -o bind /stuff/home /home =2D etc ... But that's because I know myself and I know if I did it your way I'd=20 confuse the dickens out of myself three days later when finding a usr/,=20 var/, tmp/ inside /home. It seems that human memory is like those Flash=20 NAND things - it deterioriates with age, hehehe :-) alan =2D-=20 Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
