Disk partitioning - recommended sizes
Dear Debian Users,
I will be getting a new 4.0 Gb drive this Friday, which finally allows me to
migrate my home system from a.out to ELF. This disk will be entirely devoted
to Linux partitions. I want to reserve about 2.0 Gb for 'user' data.
This leaves about 2.0 Gb for the /, /usr, /var/spool and swap partitions. I
have another 2.0 Gb disk and I am contemplating to put the swap partition on
there (for load balancing).
The disk will be installed on a Pentium 90 system, with 48 Mb RAM and an
Adaptec 2940 controller. I estimate a need for about 250 Mb spool.
Any suggestions for the partitioning of this disk ? I am leaning towards a
partitioning scheme with different partitions for /, /usr/bin, /usr/lib,
/user, and /var.
