Sharing partitions with multiple Linux installations
I have multiple Linux installations, knoppix, Progeny, and two
Debians, each sharing a common swap partition and a /home
partition. One of the Debians is used as a test bed for the
other.
So far, I haven't had any problem that I can detect by sharing
/home and /swap but I also don't see any great advantage except
using less overall disk space. I use GRUB for booting.
Would there be any particular benefit or problem to having
multiple systems share other partitions such as /var /usr or
others?
