Hi all,
Ever since I've installed openSUSE 11.4, my /boot partition never unmounts cleanly during a reboot.
I never had this problem with openSUSE 11.3.
Any thoughts? I've stopped using a boot-parition long ago, but let's have a look at your fstab.
Why is that? People told me that separate the disk on boot-swap-home is the best way to install a linux system. Is there a better way? I am really interesting in that... Kostas
Hi Kostas, some boot-loaders used to have a limitation that required /boot to be on the first 1024 cylinders of the disk. The way to guarantee that was to have a small /boot partition in the beginning of the drive. swap space is usually kept on a separate partition/drive for speed. You could just as easily keep a swapfile on your root filesystem, but adding the filesystem layer only makes it (even if only marginally) slower. /home is easier to manage during upgrades and updates if kept separately. /Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
