I use purposed partitions. The video partition mounts to /home/<user>/Videos, the music partition to /home/<user>/Music, and the data partition to /home/<user>/data. Of course this requires /home to be mounted first. Previously I used mount points in /mnt, which isn't an issue with SuSE.
Yes! PURPOSED partitions add clarity. $ ls ~anton Downloads/ lib/ mnt/ PDF/ Templates/ Desktop/ Dropbox/ logs/ MyMovies/ opt/ Photographs/ tmp/ bin/ Mail/ MyMusic/ ownCloud/ Public/ Documents/ Media/ Names/ public_html/ Of course there is infrastructure, under Documents, PDF, Desktop, MyMovies, MyMusic, Photographs. Photographs are by project or year. Each year is a mounted file system. Music is by genre, again mounted file systems where volume warrants. The same applies to movies. Of course I have localization of my own applications in ~/bin and ~/lib and relevant logging, as well as localization of ~/mnt, under which there is a symlink for USB to /var/run/media/anton/ All very flexible using LVM. $ mount (edited) /dev/mapper/vgmain-vROOT4 on / /dev/sda1 on /boot /dev/mapper/vgmain-vSRV on /srv /dev/mapper/vgmain-vVAR on /var /dev/mapper/vgmain-vOPT on /opt /dev/mapper/vgmain-vLOCAL on /usr/local /dev/mapper/vgmain-vTMP on /tmp type /dev/mapper/vgmain-vUser4 on /usr/share /dev/mapper/vgmain-vISO.JFS on /ISO /dev/mapper/vgmain-vHome on /home /dev/mapper/vgmain-vMail on /home/anton/Mail /dev/mapper/vgmain-vMedia.JFS on /home/anton/Media /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPDF.JFS on /home/anton/PDF /dev/mapper/vgmain-vMyMusic.JFS on /home/anton/MyMusic /dev/mapper/vgmain-vRocknroll.JFS on /home/anton/MyMusic/RocknRoll /dev/mapper/vgmain-vDownloads on /home/anton/Downloads /dev/mapper/vgmain-vMyMovies.JFS on /home/anton/MyMovies /dev/mapper/vgmain-vCamera on /home/anton/Photographs /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPhotoByYear on /home/anton/Photographs/ByYear /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPhoto2017.JFS on /home/anton/Photographs/ByYear/2017 /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPhoto2014.JFS on /home/anton/Photographs/ByYear/2014 /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPhoto2015.JFS on /home/anton/Photographs/ByYear/2015 /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPhoto2016.JFS on /home/anton/Photographs/ByYear/2016 /dev/mapper/vgmain-vPhoto2018.JFS on /home/anton/Photographs/ByYear/2018 Yes, I know, there are people who argue that having /boot separate makes debugging problems with / more difficult. I have never found that to be the case. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
