In designing the disk layout it is important not to split off the
|
|
directory tree structure at the wrong points, hence this section.
|
|
As it is highly dependent on the FSSTND it has been put aside in
|
|
a separate section, and will most likely have to be totally rewritten
|
|
when FHS is adopted in a Linux distribution.
|
|
In the meanwhile this will do.
|
|
<P>Remember that this is a list of where a separation <EM>can</EM> take place,
|
|
not where it <EM>has</EM> to be. As always, good judgement is always required.
|
|
<P>Again only a rough indication can be given here. The values indicate

|
|
<P>There is of course plenty of adjustments possible, for instance a home user
|
|
would not bother with splitting off the <CODE>/var/spool</CODE> hierarchy but
|
|
a serious ISP should. The key here is <EM>usage</EM>.
|
|
<P><EM>QUIZ!</EM> Why should <CODE>/etc</CODE> never be on a separate partition?
|
|
Answer: Mounting instructions during boot is found in the file
|
|
<CODE>/etc/fstab</CODE> so if this is on a separate and unmounted partition
|
|
it is like the key to a locked drawer is inside that drawer, a hopeless
|
|
situation. (Yes, I'll do nearly anything to liven up this HOWTO.)
