What advantages is there to partioning a larger disk, say a 2GB drive,
into 2 or more logical drives with each logical drive further divided up into
1 or more filesystems ?
Is it worth the extra work to do so?
Is there a performance gain?
How are others setting up their BSD drives?
How many MBytes for like /usr, /usr/local, /var etc.
Mine is just used for 1 or 2 users, software development, NFS, experimental
web server (read 1 or 2 users), XFree, no newsfeeds.
Just for the heck of it, I partioned a 1 GB into 4 logical drives, and each
further down into many filesystems, and it seemed to work. Hmmm....
Thanks
Roger
