'/' is the root of the unified UNIX/Linux directory tree for a single system. '/root' is a directory (not usually a separate file system) that is normally used as the home directory of the "root" user. >/swap Swap space isn't part of the directory tree; it doesn't have a pathname like this. >/home >/usr/local >/opt > >What would be an appropriate partition scheme for my web server? /home, /tmp, and /var/tmp (as well as any other world-writable directory) should be separate file systems. (They could reside on the same partition or even, as is in my case, on non-partitioned space.) Other than that, I think the rest is really personal preference if you don't want to share the file systems between multiple systems. /usr, /usr/local, /opt, /var, /srv, /var/cache, /boot can each be justified as separate file systems, but I don't think any are mandatory for your set-up. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
