- I'm about to move up from OS 4.1 to 4.1.3 on my SPARC 1+'s.
- For space reasons, it would be nice to have the root (/)
- partition on one disk and /usr on another. Is this legal?
- Are there reasons why I should not do it? I tried to check
- TFM, but the install manual for 4.1.3 doesn't seem to say one
- way or the other. Our old 4.1.1 manual says that they *should*
- be on the same disk so that the system will boot even if the
- second drive fails. If I'm willing to accept that risk, does
- anyone know of an over-riding reason not to go ahead and do this?

- Thanks,
