With a single, large filesystem on /, you cannot take advantage of things like background fsck, cuz / always needs to be checked fully before the system goes multiuser. A small / partition is quick to fsck, and can be kept mounted sync to ensure consistency without harming system throughput. All the others (/var, /usr, /foo) can be checked after the machine is live, greatly speeding up post-crash recovery. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
