Hi! Currently I´m running my whole home-box off a large IDE-disk: bash-2.03$ df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 495746 48534 421609 10% / /dev/hda1 10213 3946 5740 41% /boot /dev/hda5 1014784 905102 57243 94% /usr /dev/hda6 1014784 458391 503954 48% /var /dev/hda7 2028739 787539 1136320 41% /home /dev/hda8 19360006 15539553 2810918 85% /mp3 As this disk may be starting to fail (see posts from earlier this week) I´m now thinking about migrating the system a mixed SCSI+IDE one. This should also address the issue with /usr being rather crowded ;-) right now. So, basically, I want the system to reside on SCSI and the not-so-valuable data on IDE. Does something like SCSI: sda1 /boot 25 MB sda2 / 100 MB sda3 /usr 1200 MB sda4 /var 840 MB (/tmp -> /var/tmp) IDE: hda1 /home ~5 GB, salvaging current hda1 - hda7 hda8 /mp3 19 GB, current hda8[0] seem like a reasonable scheme? 0: And, regarding the IDE-disk: Is this possible _without_ losing the data on the current /mp3 (hda8)? Eg, deleting hda1-7, re-creating a large hda1, ´cause I don´t have any means to backup 15 GB and I surely don´t want to re-convert my whole cd-collection to mp3... cheers, &rw -- -- As folks might have suspected, not much survives except roaches, -- and they don't carry large enough packets fast enough... -- About the Internet and nuclear war. ----
