Yeah I thought something like /var/data/www
But that would be up to the Administrator who's setting up the machine.=

Then go ahead and to it. ;-)

OK, please explain how the LV's work in the above URL?

Aren't those names hard-coded in DL somewhere?
If so, why not add another one for /var/www ?

Never mind, I read the mountfs startup script.

I thought the names must be hard-coded because not everything gets
mounted under /var.  Now I see that only home, opt and swap are
hard-coded.  Everything else goes under /var.

The documentation is a little misleading, IMO ...

I wrote you an answer quite a while ago....
SF is really slow now.

No, it doesn't.

There is this one little line at the begining of the script:
# supported LVs
dl_lvs="swap log spool squid tmp data home opt imap mail"

Tell me about it.  SF has been really slow for the last few days.

OK, I missed that.  

I see you added a bug tracker.
How do you think it should work?  

Like I said, where everything else (except home/opt/swap) 
gets mounted under /var?

I'd also like to see an easy way to mount all of /var 
under a single partition.

Yes that's what I was looking for

That easy, just create one LV named "var" and handle it the same way as 
home or opt .

Yes you're right, it's hardcoded in /etc/init.d/mountfs .
That's actually a good point, we should make this dynamic in 1.1.
