Exactly. For people who are running a database, or a web server, or developing code, some or all of this projects may warrant their own file systems. There may be other things you want to do, too. I actually like to put /usr/src and /usr/obj in filesystems different from /usr, but that's just me. In fact, I like to keep /usr static to the greatest degress possible. So, if it was my system, I'd set it up with those additional filesystems. In your specific case, maybe you want a separate /pictures filesystem, or a filesystem that you would mount as /home/your-login/pictures or something like that. Or - maybe you don't even want to use it all. Leave it "uncarved" for future filesystems as yet unthoughtof. -- John Lind john@starfire.MN.ORG
