[tlug] /usr



We suppose such a situation as to manage a diskless system with a single HDD among several machines in a local network for a small group. The question was which directories are convenient to share among the machines and which shouldn't be.
 
           ----------  Categories  ----------
/{boot, etc, proc, tmp, var} are machine-specific, non-sharable.
/{bin, dev, lib, opt, sbin} can be read-only sharable.
/{home, root} can be read-wright sharable.
           ------------------------------  tell me if wrong.
 
I had tried sharing /usr among diskless clients and an NFS server, then the GUI doesn't work properly at all. After that, only sharing /{root, home (rw), opt (ro)} does well for a short test.
 
However, the directory /usr occupies 66% in capacity of the whole / in Slack,8, /opt 30%, and the others 3% approximately. Though the directory /usr is complicated, can we disscuss more about its subdirectories? The key point to save a single HD is to share /usr as much as possible. The directory should be devided into the categories.
