hi

can 2 linux systems, installed on the same machine (DUAL BOOT) with BIND & SQUID use the same /var directory ?
in /var/lib/named I have created some Master & Slave Zones.
both linux system have the same configuration.
/var is a separated logical partion
this is for a security reason.
crashed one system, so I can start the second one and users can work.

greetings

You will be able to mount any partition on any mount point you want. One thing to be aware of, usually your syslog and other logs are on the /var dir, so if you boot up, into the other os, your syslog will have incorrect data. At least thats my take on it.
