The rest is all mounted on / Is that bad? I was critized by a peer for not having split up the drive and mount individual partitions into /usr /var etc.. But since the server will not be used by anyone (webserver and webmail) I am not concerned about users taking up space since they aren't any. But in general what is the rule of thumb on this? are there any speed advantages to having seperat partitions? thanks for your input, Marcelo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
