Re: partitioning strategy
Hi Robert,
Here are the partitions on my 9.1GB SCSI drive:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda1 99M 19M 74M 21% /
/dev/sda5 623M 332M 259M 56% /usr
/dev/sda6 144M 15K 137M 0% /tmp
/dev/sda7 7.1G 4.9M 6.7G 0% /export/home/squall
sda2 and sda3 are swap partitions. sda4 is a logical partition that
contains extended partitions 5 through 7.
and here is my /etc/fstab file:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda5 /usr ext2 rw 1 2
/dev/sda6 /tmp ext2 rw 1 2
/dev/sda7 /export/home/squall ext2 rw 1 2
I've got two 128MB swap partitions since I wanted 256MB of swap, and since
Linux currently doesn't address swap space beyond 128MB in a swap
partition, hence the two swap partitions. We're not dealing with news or
mail spools so I just left /var as part of my root partition. Since we
have large pieces of software, I made my /usr partition seperate. Since
we compile large pieces of code, I made a seperate /tmp partition.
