This is the default partition scheme from 2001 according to the handbook = :-) Partition Size Type boot partition, containing kernel(s) and boot information ~100 Megabytes ReiserFS recommended, ext2 ok root partition, containing main filesystem (/usr, /home, etc) >=3D1.5 Gigabytes ReiserFS recommended, ext2 ok swap partition (no longer a 128 Megabyte limit) >=3D128 Megabytes Linux s= wap No seperate /usr either >=20 > Also, as I stated, I have / and /boot on regular partitions and > everything else on LVM.

The solution now is to merge /usr to / or risk that one day your system won't boot. I know that some changes are hard to overcome, but that does not mean you can look away :-) --CCMl9LQX3kN8VmfL7k6c17Hxa1cdFOIdB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSRxbAAAoJEK7HowNX6Bk+7s0IAL5JNhAtkSOA9GLwobbywH0q nwbpUsRABObhh8WzhmrhZ6QgbVzD81qp6V0aSCfFc7VY8sxNAmvbwNpQXux0U+Me iPbBQFmieEUL/hch479OKMTcA2kLLwLJJFG94/wordQrnfDRWpu/ao30W3KBeJSW 9OJg8N4A2ZIHW08FMChrOaDj5KrEdwKGQiX9rq0ZV5BPZyuSV1V7sc6L8veXQegD FGtA8g6Ke9CcuvBBhfMUzclNmUQdEAB61cn0bYmXLubOKkLCyV6f4LkBBnot4l5k 4537eBoqv/aKemnPSffLeNNH7KFYsShI9qV/+WsT6tTZalDbv5P4j7HTAxUE9OE= =BKRS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CCMl9LQX3kN8VmfL7k6c17Hxa1cdFOIdB--
