Re: /etc and partitions

Speaking from experience, I put /etc on a separate partition once, only took 2
hours to recover it but it was a lesson well learned... There are several
file located in the /etc/ directory that need to be immediately available
upon boot. These include /etc/fstab and /etc/rc*.
