I can't really see the rationale for putting / and /usr on separate partitions. Swap would go on a different partition because it does not use the same file system. I like to put /home on a separate partition, and don't like the idea of /usr/home. I also don't like to put /var and /tmp on separate partitions: problems with size and fitting the disk space. Putting /home on a separate partition allows the whole system to be upgraded, even newfs and reinstall, without touching user data. Tom
