Re: Partitioning schemes for partman-auto

Hi!

So far we have two usefull partitioning schemes.  Please review the
numbers and the names of the schemes (the names will be shown to the
users in a menu).

=================================================
Name: All files in one partition (recommended for new users)

       Minimal Typical Maximal
/      1000Mb  10Gb    9999Gb
swap   64Mb    512Mb   512Mb

=================================================
Name: Separate home directories (future installations can preserve users data)

       Minimal Typical Maximal
/      300Mb   3Gb     7Gb
/home  100Mb   10Gb    1000Gb
swap   64Mb    400%    512Mb

=================================================

I was thinking also for a partitioning scheme that tries to follow the
recommendations in "Securing Debian Manual", but as Falk Hueffner
pointed, more advanced partitioning schemes are used by people who do
this stuff manually.
