Likely they finally had a good look at the UNIX guide. The partition 'usr' means Universal System Resources and was intended to be reserved for system files and resource files that were of fixed length and seldom, if ever, changed. By misinterpreting this as 'user' space when I/A was first programmed, we have been plagued (you, that is, I am now unplagued thank you very much) for years with no space in /usr and a nearly empty /opt. Moving things over to /opt was a wise and useful decision. > > From: <IQUEIROLOO@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 2005/05/18 Wed AM 06:21:38 CDT > To: <foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [foxboro] Displays partition for FoxView > > > Hi all, > > > Does anybody in the list know why Foxboro changed the partition where the > user graphics could be placed?
