I never set /usr separated from / especially on a server : if there's a bug for any reason, nothing works ! (emerge is in /usr, gcc, ssh doesn't start). But you are the one who decide ! This is my partition system : / ext3/4 /home ext3/4 /var reiserfs /tmp tmpfs /tmp_portage tmpfs (specifically for emerge, so I can mount or unmount it when large compil start) /mnt/portage reiserfs (shared via nfs) /mnt/distfiles ext3/4 (shared via nfs) I am available for any explanation. For the ones who read french I have written a doc on my website concerning my choices. -- Stéphane Guedon page web : http://www.22decembre.eu/ carte de visite : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.vcf clé publique gpg : http://www.22decembre.eu/downloads/Stephane-Guedon.asc
