It surprises me that it is considered "extremely unusual": It is an option offered in stable debian-installer without any advanced trickery (just select LVM and pick the last option) - I quite commonly use that, and would be surprised if I am alone in that. I pick that option to avoid e.g. video editing that accidentally fills $HOME to wreak havoc on postfix processing (only stall local delivery). (yes, I recently noticed there is also an option to separate $HOME from the rest, and I don't recall why I didn't pick that in the past - but my point here is not which option is best for new installs but the likelihood of existing installs having split / and /usr). Could someone please point to the posts concluding it being "extremely unusual"? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
