I had update probem too, but now I use on my Servers following:
/dev/sda1 / Rescue
/dev/sda2 SWAP
/dev/sda3 /tmp
/dev/sda5 / Production 1
/dev/sda6 /var/log Production 1
/dev/sda7 / Production 2
/dev/sda8 /var/log Production 2
/dev/sda9 /home
So I have now three independant systems and I can update one production
system and if it does not work I switch back to the other one...
Yes, it requires much more diskspace, but even on my expensive 147/300GB
SCSI drives it is worth and saved me many headaches...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
