One more issue: How to I make the bind-mount permenant,
i.e. do I need to add this to fstab and if so, how?
Here's an example from one of my boxes:
/home/local /usr/local auto bind 0 0
Dan: As far a LVM, I do not use it. I haven't yet learned of
it's benefits so I have not applied it to my current filesystems
for fear of blowing up my current installation.
I use LVM over RADI1 on most of my machines these days. I use separate
filesystems for /, /usr, /tmp, /home, /var, swap, and /srv, only make
them as big as I expect them to be in the medium term (i.e. leaving
unallocated space in the volume group) and then extend their sizes as
and when it's necessary.
