Hell, I=92m not sure my thinking is sane as to where I > =91think=92 /var should be placed/mounted. >=20 did I get it right? You have four hard disks? If so, place /, /var /tmp on indiidual drives. Make the fourth disk usr and= mount the remaining space of the other three disks inside /usr/home. Locate then stuff on the other three disks which you expect to be used in p= arallel with the /usr disk. Of course, you can mount it anywhere else if you want. Erich
