Greetings. Yes, it's a religous question but i'll try to lmit it. This is my df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda4 13G 8.6G 3.6G 71% / tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 76K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 991M 0 991M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda10 373M 11M 343M 3% /tmp /dev/sda7 4.6G 3.7G 731M 84% /usr /dev/sda8 2.8G 387M 2.3G 15% /var /dev/sda6 100G 78G 23G 78% /mnt/win64 1) What's with those two tmpfs? Are (both) really necessary? Isn't swap enough? /mnt/win64 is a FAT32 that will become ext3, it has most of my personal stuff. I want to leave most of the disk for my /home and 8.2GB of / are actually my /home already, meaning i have about 86GB of user files (the biggest chunk of it in a folder called "to_filter"). This is a regular desktop and i'm gonna do a reinstallation. These partitions were done automatically 'cos i was already counting on a reinstall - there's a 20GB XP Pro partition that's gonna be reduced to 15GB if i don't decide to wipe it out completely (oh, wait, games...). Usually i use / and /home only. This is a 160GB Maxtor drive. 2) How about 20GB for / and everything else for /home? 3) is it worth it to separate /var and /usr on a desktop system? Why? Why not? What sizes? 4) What's standard on keeping important parts of the filesystem from being full and halting the system? Once i did have / full and it was crazy to fix it 'cos it wouldn't boot.
