My question

-----------------

Hi All,

> /dev/dsk/cot0d0s0 / 120 -150 mb

> /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 /usr 400 -650mb

> /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 /var 150-200mb

> and the rest home ...

the result

--------------

all who responded agreed on one thing the /var is too small !!! 300-600mb

was the ranges of size.

almost all said they like to keep / small and seperated so there's no file

activity on it and thus minimal posibility of damage.

almost all said /opt and /usr should be residing on other slices to usr

300-600 and the same or more for opt .

Adam Levin was the only one saying a single but big partition will save disk

space manuvers ...and allow for smooth upgrades.

if you have a comments please mail me i will resummerize !!! i think this

issue is important and deserves some thaught .so your opinion is welcomed

and will be taken into consideration.

thanks to all who responded

Rasana,Sam,Haniotakis,Graham,Mike,Bruce ,Craid and Adam.

Moti Levy
