As Ragge points out, only a and c are critical, there was a guy at Sun a
looong time ago who suggested: (doen't mean anything, just stuck with me
for some reason)
/dev/xxxa - root *historical*
/dev/xxxb - swap *historical*
/dev/xxxc - everything *historical*
/dev/xxxd - /var "data"
/dev/xxxe - /export "things you share to the net"
/dev/xxxg - /usr "general usage"
/dev/xxxh - /home "user directories living on this server"
My current fstab on a 660MB ESDI drive is something like:
/dev/ra0a / (32 MB)
/dev/ra0b swap (64 MB)
/dev/ra0g /usr (128 MB)
/dev/ra0h /export (the rest)
The second ESDI drive is mounted on /usr/src but it still isn't as large as
I would like so I'll probably switch to NFS mounting /src from the PC.
