Warning — do not place
/var
on network storage
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 does not support having a separate
/var
on a network
filesystem (for example, NFS, iSCSI, or NBD) The
/var
directory contains critical data
that must be read from or written to during the boot process before establishing network
services.
However, you may have
/var/spool
,
/var/www
or other subdirectories on a separate
network disk, just not the complete
/var
filesystem.

New

).
Note
You must dedicate at least one partition for this installation, and optionally more. For more
information, refer to
Chapter 26, An Introduction to Disk Partitions
