- Hello, we have two SparcStations here. One is running SunOS 4.1.2, the other
- SunOS 4.1.3. Both were shipped (as I suppose all Sparcs are) with a
- not-that-big /usr partition and a comfortable /local one. After some reflexion
- and reading the preceding thread on what to put where, I came to the
- conclusion that the /usr partition was for the vendor's software, and that
- /local was for /usr/local (or /opt as it seems to be called in SunOS 5.0).
-
- Right. But if I create /usr/local/{bin,lib,man,include,etc,sbin,...} on the
- /local partition on one of the first Sun, and NFS mount it as /usr/local
- on the other Sun, what do I put in the second Sun's /local ? Wouldn't it be
- more sensible to create, say, /usr/local/{bin,lib,sbin} on one Sun and
- /usr/local/{man,include,etc} on the other one ?
-
- Now my fear is : what will happen at boot time ? I had a rule of thumb (it
- may be superstition) that said : "if B mounts a directory from A, boot A
- before B". Now what do I do with cycles ?
-
- Any suggestion welcome. Thanks,
- Bruno
