Re: Man...

Backups is one thing, but putting your cache on the same physical drive as working material or archives is just day zero stupid.

No it isn't at all. Especially if you only have one disk, and even more especially if you're Jo(e) Public.

Even using the same directory isn't stupid - just because it is to us.

When Jo(e) is told that "cache is where the system creates temporary files which it needs to do when it's working - they get deleted automatically afterwards", there is nothing silly in then thinking "they may as well be put in with my other movie files.. keeps all the movie stuff away from my documents."
