Re: Putting It All On a Stick
I chose the partition scheme offering separate /, /home, /var and /tmp
partitions. I would have preferred to put /home on a different
physical drive only because everything else will be living on an SSD
and I would prefer to keep the writes to that disk at a minimum. I
have an extra rotating disk of size 250GB I could easily use for
/home, and I suppose I could eventually move /home to that drive, but
for now, all of this is purely experimental and learning, so anything
I do that's wrong or inefficient can easily be redone in a matter of
minutes.
