Directories > I've considered moving around are: Basically, don't break them up. Unix file systems used to be fragile enough that separating them limited the damage. These days, that's not true, so all you're doing in creating extra file systems is creating more things that can cause problems by running out of space. Leaving them together lets them share the extra space, making it less likely that you'll run out of space. The reasons for splitting a file system these days are administrative - meaning you have different backup or upgrade paths, different mounting options, or similar things. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
