I would like to separate /usr onto its own partition on a different disk.
First, I am under the assumption that this might speed my I/O times
because both disks are Ultra2's. Secondly given my set-up below, what is
the *safest* method to separate /usr. I thought of two ways but would
feel safer if I had some outside advice.
/dev/sda = 2.1G
/dev/sdb = 4.5G
Current:
-------------------------
/dev/sda1 /
/dev/sda2 /home
/dev/sda3 /export1
/dev/sda4 swap
Desired:
/dev/sda1 /
/dev/sda2 /home
/dev/sda3 /export1
/dev/sda4 swap
/dev/sdb1 /usr
/dev/sdb2 /export2
/dev/sdb3 /export3
--------------------------
I am open to any other suggestions about ideal partitioning/mount-points
for this new drive but I still desire a safe method to get any new
directories on the new drive.
TIA.
-Ian
