It's an experimental setup. It uses a 80 GByte SSD for / and vservers, and mirrors the 80 GByte to a 1 TByte WD RE3 drive as I've empirically learned that SSDs are not long for this world. The rest of the 1 TByte drive is for /home for the vservers. I would have used a dedicated root if I had a 160 GByte SSD. > > Is there a way to verify the symlinks are actually there? > > there are no symlinks, unification uses hard links ... Thank you.
