Re: Disk Partitioning for Newbies (everything you always wanted to know)
i still do that :) except on severs..all the desktops/laptops i build
pretty much just have 1 root and 1 swap partition. although it can be
nice having multiple partitions i can remember many times getting
frustrated that /usr/local was almost full yet /var had gigs and gigs
free..or something to that extent.
but thats me.
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 4261452 3522724 522256 87% /
/dev/sdc1 4253572 1868032 2169468 46% /usr/local
/dev/sdb1 8696956 6691908 1563264 81% /stuff
gateway:/stuff
9397727 4815985 4094170 54% /mnt/portal
(note each mount point is a physically different drive..)
