Description Jochen Roeder 2023-06-29 10:05:31 UTC

Disk partitions:

https://documentation.suse.com/de-de/sles/15-SP5/html/SLES-all/sec-sec-file-management.html#sec-sec-prot-general-partitions

11.1 Disk partitions
Servers should have separate file systems for at least /, /boot, /usr, /var, /tmp, and /home. 

There is a discussion with L3 support that /usr is not supported as a separate filesystem. for details read:

Franc and Jochen,

From the doc perspective , Will removing "/usr" from the existing statement: 

Servers should have separate file systems for at least /, /boot, /usr, /var, /tmp, and /home. 

Do I need to add a statement that 
" a separate FS for /usr is not supported only when /usr is pre-mounted "?    

Cover the scope of this bz

Comment 3 Franck Bui 2023-10-16 12:20:24 UTC

I think that simply dropping "/usr" from "Server should have separate [...]" sentence is enough.

The paragraph https://documentation.suse.com/de-de/sles/15-SP5/html/SLES-all/sec-sec-file-management.html#sec-sec-prot-general-partitions is an overview of the disk layout. I don't think it should mention the specific (and rare) case where /usr should be separated from /.

Thanks Franc, I assume this is applicable for for SLES 15 SP5-SP1

Comment 5 Amrita Sakthivel 2023-11-02 10:19:33 UTC

Merged into main and SLE15 SP5-1
