Hi all, first of all hello to everybody, because I've been off of this list for a very long time...
Well, my question is about how should I organize my filesystem. I have now Debian woody in a 1'7 gb hard disk; all the entire disk is mounted on /, on a single partition. Now, I will buy a 20 gb hard disk. I can't imagine having the entire disk in one single filesystem... and I can't imagine a fsck on it... But in the other hand, I'm the only user of the computer. Well, I have think the following organization: / of 100 mb in a primary partition at the beginning of the disk, so lilo or grub can boot it. /usr of 3 gb (no comments... but should it be bigger?) /usr/local of 1,5 gb (to install quake data, staroffice, etc) /tmp of 150 mb /var 250 mb (/var/cache/apt/archives will go in another place, as explained below) /home of 1 gb (I'm the only user in the system) /misc in the rest of the disk. I pretent to put here several subdirectories, as music (my mp3 collection), photos (some photos I have), and a link to /var/cache/apt/archives. I also would like to store here several other files, like tar ones. And at last, I forgot it, a swap partition of 128 mb (I have 128 mb of ram currently). But where I should place it phisically on the disk ? All the other partitions, except / will be contained on extended ones. What do you think about this layout? Should I give more space to any of the partitions or make shrink them? Should I put any other directory in a partition? I want to get the most performance as I can organizing properly the partitions. I know the answer could differ A LOT from each person, but never mind. I just want oppinions.
