	i make no claim to expert knowledge here but we decided the
ordinary partition layout was not useful to us. our current setup
(at least the changed and new partitions) are

SMD (1.2GB) DISKS
==================
each disk includes the following partitions (you refer to
partition P on drive D on controller C by /dev/dsk/xylCdDsP):

	0: efs	3+26		/
	1: raw	29+150		swap
	2: efs	179+150		/tmp
	3: efs	329+474		/usr
	4: efs	803+800		/u0
	5: efs	3+800		/u1
(for comparison:
	1: raw	28+81		old swap
	6: efs	109+1494	old /usr
)

	we normally run multiple disk systems (4 typically) with
drives 0,1 using partitions 0,1,2,3,4 (both bootable) and
all the rest using just 4,5 for usr files. we keep /usr clear of
anything that sgi (or other vendors) put there. that way, if an engineer swings by,
we can power off our main usr drives and feel better.
