In the desktop environment, I agree about /srv. When I do this manually, it is either /srv or /home that ends up in its own partition. I was trying to address both server and desktop installations with one rule. As for the /var/log... I put that one in because I have had runaway processes send info, warning, and error messages to the syslog. That is where they will end up. If the logs fill a drive, I want a simple way to recover. As an advanced user, I would mount a live cd or simply boot to the boot sector. Manually mount that drive. Then fix the problem. reboot. As a end user, they will come to me, and I will do my best Nick Burn Computer Guy... huuuh, move! ... lol Now back to my original question... Is there a reason we don't use one of these more stable layouts now? And should we consider it for Hardy? -- Kevin Fries Senior Linux Engineer Computer and Communications Technology, Inc A Division of Japan Communications Inc. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
