Updates and Separate Partitions for 1st level directories
by AnneF from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AGQX)
1, If I have some 1st level directories (such as /usr /tmp or /opt (etc.) on a separate partition, then when I download and install an update, how does Linux know where all the directories are?
2. I am assuming these partitions need to be "mounted" when Linux is run? (I know little at this point) Can this mounting of necessary directories be automated?
Thanx, AnneF
