Hi Linux-Fan,

Appreciate the help. I have to read-up on the file structure in Linux.
I totally understand the concept in windows. But when you said,

>"You can have /var on your "main" partition (which also contains "/")and mount >another partition in the subdirectory "/var/mail".

Can you give me an example please (in a file tree format) such as below?

/var
/var/mail

Thank you
