[ale] partitioning and /usr [was Re: Looking for recommendations on LVM + soft Raid on home server]

[Stephen R. Blevins]

The O'Reilly book LPI LINUX CERTIFICATION has a discussion about 
partitioning, but the author's take is that it ultimately depends on the 
usage goals of the system in question.  I know that's not much help, but 
it is a place where the topic is discussed, however briefly.
