You're missing the most important part: across different fs and partition layouts. Look, the pyramids were built before the last century, but that doesn't mean we should try to balance them upside down if they work fine as they are. Clearly different use cases have different requirements and correspondingly different optimal solutions. Can I please keep my bin/sbin directories separate and ditto for /usr and its subbies? :-) -- Regards, Mick --nextPart1696825.1jaTKMt8E4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
