Good afternoon, In regards to partitioning, I have a question regarding a "rumor" that has been told to me by various different linux experts, and I wanted to confirm if this also takes place with FreeBSD Unix. In the past, I have always had the root filesystem (/) and the /usr filesystem all on seperate partitions. I was told that having /usr on a seperate partition is an "old" way of doing things and actually causes issues when /usr is mounted separately from root (/). Does this play true in FreeBSD or is that thought process nonsense? I was told to create a larger root filesystem and NOT create usr seperately as /usr will mount off the root filesystem anyway. Will there be any issues by having /usr on a separate partition then root? I will like to know any opinions on this, as well as suggestions based on how other FreeBSD guru's have their server setups. Any suggestions on partitioning schema's for a general LAMP stack server, and maybe some gameservers would be GREATLY appreciated. Kind Regards, Jonathan
