If you remember older releases came as tar balls which allowed me to
determine where I wanted the software and create a file system ahead
of time. Since it started using RPMs, I can no longer build a server
and create all of the file systems ahead of time, because how will I
know if they decide to move it next week? next month? next year?
Some of the
directories have always been configurable - log file
directory, database directory - so those could be changed to a different
filesystem, even in the old format - not during setup, but afterwards.
And those are the file systems which you will usually have to worry
about, in terms of performance and having enough space.
Thanks,
