You can safely leave /home as part of the /usr filesystem i.e. it will be /usr/home. That will gain you 4gb overall. I usually only define /home if I'm using a separate drive or network filesystem. If you're going to symlink mysql you probibly don't need 4GB in var. My webserver is running @500MB on /var with 10 databases. 1 or 2GB will be plenty. > > > > > > and /tmp on swap > > > > > > Any possible issues with this? > > > > I think it unlikely that mounting /tmp on the swap partition > > will work, because swap isn't a filesystem in the usual sense > > of the word. > > http://users.rcn.com/rneswold/fbsd-init.html#AEN258 > -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beech Rintoul - Sys.
