Those that have one single 200GB root partition are asking for trouble... I have all of my home machine and work machine storing critical data on an NFS or samba mounted arrays. So sure go ahead and blowup the local disk on the workstations... not matter all fun stuff is saved on my backed-up nfs/samba server. It is still just good practice to not have a HUGE root partition. Heck use LVM anyway... that is what it is for. Dynamically modify your filesystems. -- greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry
