On the other hand, going forward I suggest to not setup a separate /usr anymore, there's no benefit in it.
Backups? More to the point, management of backups.
Oh, right, you've got some Sony DAT tape thing that can take half a terabyte and a budget for an endless supply of tapes ...

I don't understand how a separate /usr helps with backups. Could you elaborate, please?
If one prefers to backup whole file systems rather than dealing with directory trees and complicated/dangerous in/exclude rules then it might help to keep it small by separating /usr. Another point would be if you share /usr read-only across many machines then you have to backup only one /usr. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
