When I installed Squeeze on a new PC three years ago I blindly
followed the installer's partitioning advice since I thought the
Debian developers would certainly know better than me. One Debian
version later I found out that my root partition had probably been
created much too small because it couldn't even hold two different
kernels. Another Debian version later, a young man, Mr. Poettering,
tells the Debian developers that the partitioning scheme they always
recommended was "broken". I guess I can now look forward to learning
whether an upgrade to Jessie - should I ever attempt one and not go
back to Slackware or try another OS out of desperation - will fail
due
to lack of disk space or lack of compatibility with existing
partitioning schemes. OMG.
