Hi,

pretty sure 10 GB is quite reasonable for a root filesystem, unless you
have specific requirements (which you didn't mention, so that's hard to
figure out). Last I checked, default is *not* using separate directories
so if you're switching away from it, I'm sure you could also partition
as you desire…

Mraw,
KiBi.
