[plug] directory places

[smclevie]

Hi all,

Another basic question I'm sure ...

Q.  How does one know where each directory at root is actually on disk?

eg I have these at '/'

bin boot cdrom dev etc floppy home initrd lib mnt opt proc root sbin 
storage tmp usr var

My partitions are "/" "/usr" "/home" "/tmp" "/usr/local" "/var" and "/storage"

I assume anything not specifically given a partition lies in the bootable 
"/" partition ...

Which means  bin, boot, cdrom, dev, etc, floppy, initrd, lib, mnt, opt, 
proc and root are in the "/" partition.

Which leads to a further question,

Q.  How much space is generous for the bootable "/" partition?  Could it 
blow out in future in some unforeseen way?
(I have it at 200M @ the moment and it is 25% used but I have not got a 
fully working system yet)

Thanks again,

Steve
