One of which is a compaq prosignia 300 - 3 scsi 1.x harddrives, scsi cddrive, 32 megs ram, P90. I am going to install fbsd 4.2 on this machine and would like to put the /usr partition on one drive, and the /var and /tmp partitions on the 3rd drive. In Gregs book he shows the commands to move the /tmp and /var from root to /usr. If I name the second and 3rd drives usr2 and usr3, can I do just as easily move the /tmp and /var to usr3 and also the /usr to usr2? I am just trying to make the best use of the 3 small drives. I am open to any other suggestions from anyone who has come up against this situation.
