I am new to openSuse, so do not know what happens with an upgrade.
An upgrade of WHAT? I run 'zypper up' daily. My list of repositories includes Kernel_Stable so occasionally, very occasionally, I get a kernel upgrade. Following that I _choose_ to reboot. I've never had a problem. But then I'm not running 13.2 :-) :-) :-) Everything else is 'just' an application. For the most part logging out and logging in again starts the ones that I'm using. There are a few independent one like Apache and CIPS and Samba that may need restarting separately with 'systemctl restart'. Again I've never had any serious problems. Occasionally an upgrade to an app will reset a config and i'll have to diff the config with the rpmsave to see what changed. But that's no different from when I've run Fedora or Mandrive/mageia, which are also RPM based. A change from a non-rpm system like Ubuntu to Suse might feel more discomfort.
Fedora used to break a lot of things:-( As I understand the ZFS partition is mounted as home.
Rather say mounted ON home.
That is currently where I am putting most of my codes.
By that do you mean that you are doing development or do you mean that you also create personal scripts/programs? If the latter, why not create /home/<user>/bin and /home/<user>/lib ? You can also pout that in the template for it to happen whenever a new user account is created. Personally I think that since UNIX/linux is about a few basic patters of doing things, just like chemistry and genetics, stick with those patterns so as to avoid memory overload with special cases.
But I am accustomed to having home full of user directories and not other stuff.
Agreed. Everything under /home/anton BELONGS to *ME*!
I was thinking of trying to make another entry like /usr1 at the same level as /home, both on the ZFS.
DUH?
But I currently do not know hoe to do this. Previously when I made a /usr1 it was on the root file system, the only partition. How do I make a /usr1 that lives on the same partition as /home?
Why? Why not create a new partition? Issues about backup etc manageability etc etc etc You can do this, but personally I think it is idiotic, but that's just my opinion: # mkdir /home/.hidden-usr1 # ln -s /home/.hidden-usr1 /usr1 Yes, that simple. Personally I would create a new file system and mount it at /usr1, or better still give it a more meaningful name like /Development
I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. I am just used to one partition with the root mount point.
While that is probably what the BtrFS people will force on us in the long run, I don't think its a good idea any which way. -- 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
