RE: Partition suggestions.
Here is my intensely complicated filesystem:
debian:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 73G 1.1G 68G 2% /
tmpfs 974M 0 974M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 52K 10M 1% /dev
tmpfs 974M 0 974M 0% /dev/shm
My setup is a LAMP server, and I prefer the all-in-one partition because it keeps things simple, and allows me to worry about other things. I am pretty much the only one who uses the system so watching the disk free space will be pretty easy. I eventually plan on letting other people run websites off my LAMP, and I will look into quota management, or buy a 500gb drive for /var since drives now-a-days are so cheap.
I don't have an answer to your other questions, but I think the two tmpfs is a symlink?

Greetings.
Yes, it's a religous question but i'll try to lmit it.
This is my df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4 13G 8.6G 3.6G 71% /
tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 10M 76K 10M 1% /dev
tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda10 373M 11M 343M 3% /tmp
/dev/sda7 4.6G 3.7G 731M 84% /usr
/dev/sda8 2.8G 387M 2.3G 15% /var
/dev/sda6 100G 78G 23G 78% /mnt/win64
1) What's with those two tmpfs? Are (both) really necessary? Isn't swap enough?
/mnt/win64 is a FAT32 that will become ext3, it has most of my
personal stuff. I want to leave most of the disk for my /home and
8.2GB of / are actually my /home already, meaning i have about 86GB of
user files (the biggest chunk of it in a folder called "to_filter").
This is a regular desktop and i'm gonna do a reinstallation. These
partitions were done automatically 'cos i was already counting on a
reinstall - there's a 20GB XP Pro partition that's gonna be reduced to
15GB if i don't decide to wipe it out completely (oh, wait, games...).
Usually i use / and /home only. This is a 160GB Maxtor drive.
2) How about 20GB for / and everything else for /home?
3) is it worth it to separate /var and /usr on a desktop system? Why?
Why not? What sizes?
4) What's standard on keeping important parts of the filesystem from
being full and halting the system? Once i did have / full and it was
crazy to fix it 'cos it wouldn't boot.
Thanks in advance,
Nuno
