I used to have a separate /, /usr and /home on my own machines, but I've given up on that; in practice I never got the size estimates right (e.g. "/usr was large enough, but then I wanted to try vegastrike", and life's too short to spend time booting in single-user mode and resizing LVs.
Well, while I had such problems, disk space today is so big, that I don’t have the problems anymore.
Besides I always want to have separate partitions, so that full partitions (especial user writeable partitions) will not affect the system to much.
So I have the following partitions: - /boot (single partition) - / (single partition) - /var (LVM) with a link from /var/tmp to /tmp - /tmp (LVM or tmpfs) - /usr (LVM) - /home (LVM) Sometimes othere partitions are added:- /usr/local (LVM) - /opt (LVM)
- different partitions under /var, e.g. for squid, news, databases Shade and sweet water! Stephan -- | Stephan Seitz E-Mail: stse@fsing.rootsland.net | | PGP Public Keys: http://fsing.rootsland.net/~stse/pgp.html |
