Unix is funny like that... it tends to have 20 ways to solve any problem. I just didn't think of this. Personally, I like having it as a seperate partition because it prevents a run-away mysql daemon or syslogd from filling the partition which contains nearly everything. (I also tend to have /tmp and /home partitions for this reason.) Jaime To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
