(biggest drive) -> 1 partition, mount as /usr (1 Gb drive) -> 2 partitions, 500 Mb each, mount as / and /home another drive -> swap, /var, /opt? I was at Materials Processing again this week -- saw a big stack of small (2 Gb) SCSI drives. Bunches of small IDE drives too. -- [M]en become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their willingness to doubt. - H.L. Mencken
