Personal experience.
- mount by LABEL/UUID/whatever, but not by /dev/sdX. Uncountable times I got support call after adding some additional storage after installation and staying before system that does not boot.
- support for root on layered storage. Yes, it probably can be done without initrd, but even Solaris moved to initrd at the end after all those years.
- minimal debugging environment in which I am able to poke around when root is not found instead of just cursing blindly
claims to need 400GB in root?! Talk about a broken model to be following!
You still need 400GB be it on two partitions or on one partition. Why exactly one is more broken than two?
For example just to have more admin-comfort from within the running system in case you need to umount it. - fsck - switching file system - shrinking file system
BTW what about having /usr read-only or mounted via NFS? Is this still possible?
No ... most libraries used by mount and nfs client services like mapping pids/gids, kerberos for v4, and so on are below /usr ... you may list all daemons and the used libaries for e.g. nfs v4 and see how many stuff you have to move to / Werner -- "Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a swimming pool." -- Edward Burr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
