root partition space

Hey guys;

2 Questions:

1) is the root partition the flash memory (ie not on hd[a|b]) ?

2) If this was full, could it be the cause of sync issues etc?

I have started having weird sync issues after trying out jemplode, so I assumed it was something to do with that, but I just realised that I installed all of my extrnsions in the /usr folder to avoid the locking issues etc.

Umm 2.00 final, hijack 417 not that it should matter

The root partition is on disk. I don't immediately see why a full root partition would cause fsck problems, especially since it should be mounted read-only, but full root partitions have caused weirder problems before.

The root partition is on disk. /dev/hda5, to be exact.

Unlikely. As Bitt says, it's mounted read-only during synchronisation.

IIRC, you can use /dev/hda2, which is 32M, for extra stuff. Mount it under /opt, or something. Alternatively, if you've got two disks, you can use /dev/hd[b|c]5 (the root partition on the second disk).

Also, if you're tight for space, you can keep your shell utils and scripts in /drive0, and symlink them into the filesystem. It's only the things that run alongside the player (and hence might interfere with synchronisation) that shouldn't be on the music partitions.
