At some point someone decided it would be nicer to rename it /arch as an "archive". I still have a /arch on my personal machine, for stuff that's large and (almost) never changes, so it doesn't need to be backed up daily.  It lives on one of those external backup hard disks, and there are two of them, so one can be stored offsite.     Mary Ann On 11/6/18 11:25 AM, ron@ronnatalie.com wrote: > An early UNIX paper shows the system had four RK05's (4872 512-byte blocks > on UNIX, for some reason only 4800 used on the DEC OSs ... remember we had > to poke ROLLIN to copy the full UNIX partition standalone). > /dev/rk0 - available for user packs. > /dev/rk1 - root > /dev/rk2 - /usr > /dev/rk3 - /crp > > I think it was just additional storage of "crap". > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: TUHS On Behalf Of Angelo >> Papenhoff >> Sent: Tuesday, November 6, 2018 12:10 PM >> To: tuhs@minnie.tuhs.org >> Subject: [TUHS] /crp >> >> I was wondering, what was the /crp mount point in early UNIX used for? >> And what does "crp" mean?
