Separating /usr/local may have a different reason, namely protecting it from being formatted on upgrades.
There are a few other things under /usr that you may want to protect against being overwritten by upgrades. It's al YMMV For some idiot reason the default is to put the MySQL database there! While on a single-user system it makes sense to install additional custom fonts under ~/local, on a shared system the decision might be to install them under /us/share/fonts. It is worth looking to see it there is anything else you want to preserve though upgrades. Games perhaps
Another reason is splitting filesystems to different disks because it may speed up access.
I don't know about access in general, but FSCK is an O-Squared and it can be parallelized. I should also mention that huge swaths of /usr can be made read only, that is mounted as a read-only FS, which makes life a little easier on the kernel. I've done that with a NFS mounted /usr/share. It had symlinks back to the local machine to take care of many items. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
