Hi Gernot, 
Thanks for your fast feedback !
I am still considering my best HDD layout and its optimal partitioning.

Well, with /usr and its contents your are already deeper in the
problematic.
Yeah, I would  love to get to know more about this when I am more
prepared 
with my future / new layout and when it comes to transferring existing
data into 
this new one !!

First I have to finish my homework to structure this layout before
discussing how 
to save and transfer existing personal data without any loss !!! ;-)

Cheers, svobi
