There's no excuse for using a crap root fs as your major work one :)

Oh, most of mine aren't mounted. I've got an emergency unmounted root fs
rsynced from the primary one every night in case something stamps on
this one, on the other disk from the primary root fs, and a pair of
umounted and rather outdated root fsen with rather more capabilities on
a pair of small slices one on each disk. The idea is that even if
something eats this entire box it should still be capable of doing its
most important job (packet forwarding to stop the network falling in
half) until I get around to repairing it.

And then there's two extra root fsen for machines whose disks are
mirrored from images on this one (mounted).

So I've got three mounted right now too.

(`root fsen I have known', hm, perhaps not.)
