-- Brian K. White brian@aljex.com http://www.myspace.com/KEYofR Agreed. I've seen my /tmp well over a gig when editing with Cinelerra (video). Rendering video and keeping an "undo" level eats space.
I guess it can be a hot button with some, but I still stick with the old school of separate partitions for nearly every root partition. I guess to me...it just feels "safer".
Can't be argued with. Everyones arguments on both sides (split up fs's, one or few fs's) are right. Comes down to personal preference and maybe occasionally to some kind of statistical guesstimanalysis of the users needs, tolerance for downtime, usage pattern, philosopy on risk aversion vs productivity, etc... -- Brian K.
