.> I am trying to set up two 9 gig drives to hold news. Make sure you configure lots and lots and lots of inodes for these drives. News is very heavy on the number of files. 9Gb = 9 * 10^9 bytes and a news article is on average 1~2 Kb -> 9*10^6 inodes requires at least! .>1. Can I have a hard drive mounted as /var and also mount .> two other hard drive as /var/msg and /var/msg/alt? You can mount a drive anywhere you want. Example: /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 / ufs 1 no - /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s3 /usr ufs 1 no - /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s6 /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s6 /usr/openwin ufs 2 y slice 6 contains everything in /usr/openwin and subdirs thereof. /usr contains everything in /usr and subdirs thereof, except from the files in /usr/openwin. / (root) contains everything that isn;t below /usr in the subtree. /spool /var /log /msg / (and the tree gets wider and wider) /openwin /usr /cdrom /local /games So /var/msg will do things to /var similar to what /var does to / (root).
