Heya,

I was wondering if it was necessary to have three file systems (/, /usr,
/var), which seems to be the default. It seems like it'd be much more
convenient to have them all in one filesystem, and not have to worry about
logfiles/mail/tmp killing the /var section, or any similar occurances.

Since the three filesystems are the default, I assume there are some good
reasons to keep it that way. What are some of these reasons? And if I
wanted, is it possible to use 1, and if so, how?

On another note, are there any known incompatibilities between the Triton
III motherboard (Intel i430VX PCIset Chipset) and FreeBSD? I didn't seen
an entry for the Triton III in the FreeBSD handbook.

Thanks.
