My only thing, I separate /, /usr, /var portages tree and such. Of course, if I put them on LVM, except for / itself, then I can move things around a bit and still not have a init thingy to deal with. My current setup while snipping the useless stuff: root@fireball / # mount /dev/sda6 on / type ext4 (rw,commit=0) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw) /dev/mapper/OS-usr on /usr type ext4 (rw,commit=0) /dev/mapper/OS-var on /var type ext4 (rw,commit=0) /dev/mapper/home-home on /home type ext4 (rw,commit=0) /dev/mapper/backup-backup on /backup type ext4 (rw,commit=0) tmpfs on /var/tmp/portage type tmpfs (rw,noatime) root@fireball / # I may try to get a 60Gb or something tho, just in case. Depends on what is on sale tho. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
