Please take a look at my reply to Scott because the two of > you seem to be suggesting contradicting ideas, and I'm keen to learn why! Have done. It's just my preference because I find it easier: the FreeBSD=20 installer as you've noticed, by default, puts the home directories under / usr/home, and creates /home as a symlink. Therefore I found it easier just to tell the installer that /usr/home would= be=20 its own partition. Ultimately it's just what you find easiest, there's no=20 "right" way, though some things are probably frowned upon. Installation is= =20 only something you need to do once, after that you cvsup :) The file system on my laptop looks something like this: =46ilesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s3a 126M 90M 26M 77% / /dev/ad0s3h 5.8G 2.2G 3.1G 41% /usr /dev/ad0s3d 8.8G 7.6G 509M 94% /usr/home /dev/ad0s3g 5.8G 3.0G 2.3G 56% /usr/home/devel /dev/ad0s3e 197M 15M 166M 8% /tmp /dev/ad0s3f 197M 88M 93M 49% /var procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc linprocfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc sauron:/space/test 75G 64G 3.6G 95% /mnt/test /usr/home/devel is a separate partition from /usr/home because I use /usr/ home/devel to compile KDE CVS reguarly, and compiling thousands of source=20 files, even on efficient file systems, is a good way to cause fragmentation= ,=20 therefore I like to keep it separate from the rest of the system. My server looks like this: =46ilesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 252M 155M 77M 67% / /dev/ad0s1f 252M 9.0M 223M 4% /tmp /dev/ad0s1g 7.3G 4.1G 2.6G 61% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 756M 220M 476M 32% /var procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc /dev/ad4s1e 75G 64G 3.6G 95% /space /dev/vinum/vinum1 144G 63G 69G 48% /vinum1 My home directories here are under /space (though will be under /vinum1 soo= n=20 when I finish migrating data from /space, an 80GB disk to /vinum1, 2 x160GB= =20 in RAID 1 with vinum). /etc/exports on the server looks like this: /space/test /space/persbackup /space/photos -maproot=3D0 -network 192.168.1= =2E0=20 =2D -mask 255.255.255.0 Hope this helps. =2D --=20 Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org =2D----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/sjY3F8Iu1zN5WiwRAkoNAJ4gOm9PLfdg0ntSS4f4nAwWlRtrQgCfZxF5 d+1OYiJzqYEVSgCT++bnRyw=3D =3DKNgm =2D----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
