/ is read-mostly, but contains critical config data. /usr is read-only, and /var (/var/mail, /var/mysql, ...) can be high volume read/write. A scenerio with / on a pair of mirrored USB sticks, /usr on DVD media with with RAM-based cache and /var & /export/home on a large wide striped/mirrored/raided pool of its own isn't too far fetched an idea. -John _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
