Sharing /home and /var on one partition

[Andy Boersma]

Hi Bob,

There is no reason why not.

You can put them both on the same drive.

The only reason for putting them on separate drives is for performance, by
being on separate drives, the kernel can read/write to both in parallel.
On the same drive it will always be a sequential operation.

Andy

Subject: Sharing /home and /var on one partition

Hi all:  I've just added a drive to my server (8.04), and want to move 
the /home and /var directories to it.  Is it possible to put both on the 
same partition, so that they'll share the pool of available space?  Or 
do I have to create separate partitions for /home and /var?

--Bob.
