That's not good then. I'm setting up a system with many users, who will need
access to /var and their /home. They will have quotas, so data in /var +
data in /home must be less than their quota. Obviously it's not a good idea
to create separate /var and /home partitions as for example, if say /var
filled up, the user won't be able to write to it, even though they are
"allowed" to since their quota hasn't been reached. 

Hmmm... Does /boot have to be in the first 1024 cylinders still? I could
adjust my scheme as such:

swap 1gb
/tmp 500mb (mounted noexec,nosuid)
/ remainder

Will this cause any dramas?

Cheers
