this discussion is getting interesting to me and hope u all dont mind if i try to imagine a real world examples here
scenario 1: assume u have a mdk 9.0 install on a 40gb hard disk and it doesnt matter what sizes the partitions are coz i am assuming the final solution is to add a second hard disk.
assume also that u can NOT split up the users (symlinks or nfs shortcuts or whatever) AND the users are pretty much static (user1, user2, dept_manager1, ceo, etc)
scenario2: assume everythign is full and there is only 1 user and i want to add more space to see under /home and only /home (i am thinking symlinks here - no reason why)
so what kind of solutions would be used?
thanks
