Depends on what you're going to do with it. For people who aren't familiar with the system, I recommedn two - / and /home - so that they can reinstall the system without trashed personal data getting trashed. Without a good reason - different backup/restore strategies, firewalling between applications, different NFS export permissions, etc. - creating extra partitions just creates more things to run out of space. > If so, could i do this with fdisk WITHOUT reformatting? You don't do this with fdisk, you do it with disklabel. And yes, you're going to have to dump, reformat, and restore if you want to change the partitions. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
