I think the main problem is to run this kind of setup with separate /usr and I'm not sure if it is reasonable to support that - why do you want to have separate /usr in the first place?
Long time SuSE users like me remember that a separate /usr partition was recommended in the SuSE documentation for optimizing disc access. After searching my paper admin books and googling a bit, I found some samples; in 9.1, it reads: ] 4 GB or More: ] ] A swap partition, a root partition (1 GB), and one partition each ] for the following directories as needed: /usr (4 GB or more), /opt (4 GB ] or more), and /var (1 GB). If you do not want to have separate ] partitions for these directories, add the suggested disk space to the ] root partition. The rest of the available space can be used for /home. http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/doc/suse/suse9.3/suselinux-adminguide_en/... Or, in 9.1, chapter "1.7.3.1. Parallel Use of Multiple Disks" ] Example 1.1. Example df Output ] ] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ] /dev/sda5 1.8G 1.6G 201M 89% / ] /dev/sda1 23M 3.9M 17M 18% /boot ] /dev/sdb1 2.9G 2.1G 677M 76% /usr ] /dev/sdc1 1.9G 958M 941M 51% /usr/lib ] shmfs 185M 0 184M 0% /dev/shm http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/ch01s07... That section can be found earlier, like in the 6.4 adminguide book (I have in no link for this one). But the same section is in SLES 9 docs (chapter "3.9.3.1. Parallel Use of Multiple Disks", http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/doc/suse/sles9/adminguide-sles9/ch03s09.h...) I haven't read in full the current versions, so I don't know if it is still there. There you have, your own reasons for having a separate /usr partition >;-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
