Regarding partitions, I have the following on my main workstation:
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda2 /opt ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc2 /tmp ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda3 /DOS vfat user,rw,uid=1000,gid=100
/dev/hda4 /home/data reiserfs user,noauto,rw,exec
/dev/hdc1 /home/shared vfat user,rw,uid=1000,gid=100
beast:/usr/local /usr/local nfs defaults 0 0
...plus /proc, /dev/pts, /floppy, /cdrom, et al.
A quick run-down of the above;
...a shared /usr/local for my whole network
...Linux/Win95 shared document space on /home/shared
...a "suck-it-and-see" reiserfs partition on /home/data which is not
automounted due to reiserfs support being compiled as a module :-(
.../usr, /tmp, /opt, all on different partitions from / and they are
also on different physical drives so they can be fsck'd in parallel (hence the
2's at the end of each line). Saves some time after a crash!
Pro's and Con's, anybody?
