Hi all!  I've got a quick question about the arrangement of different
filesystems, for all you smart types out there.

  When I originally installed Debian on my system, I created a number of
seperate filesystems in order to keep things logically seperated.  One
of them is mounted as /usr/local (it seemed like a good idea at the
time).  However, I've recently discovered that it was perhaps not the
best choice, as I need a program which is installed in /usr/local/sbin,
prior to any non-root filesystems being mounted.  I know that I could
move it into /sbin or /usr/sbin to get around that problem, but I'm
trying to keep things relatively clean so that future maintenance
doesn't get too intimidating.  For this reason, I've decided to try to
correct that mistake, rather than just working around it.

  Here's what I'm thinking of doing.  Remount the existing filesystem as
/some_fs_name, move it's /sbin component back to /usr/local/sbin, then
create symlinks under /usr/local to point all of the other directories
to their new locations.  Are there any problems with this approach that I
need to be aware of?  And if so, what would be a better solution?

Thanx!
