Only really needs to be about 100MB, 300meg if you need room for loads of kernels (I have the stock debian one and a custom built one and my /boot is only 30.9MB) > / (5 GB) [encrypted, RAID1] > /var (20 GB) [encrypted, RAID1] > /tmp (500 MB) [encrypted, RAID1] > /usr (rest of space) [encrypted, RAID1] > swap (4 GB) [encrypted] (I have 4 GB of RAM) > > My mirrored 500GB with contain the following, > /home (500GB) [encrypted, RAID1] > > Do you think this is a silly/decent scheme?

Myself, I would just have 80gig hdd's in raid 1 /boot 500meg / Rest 500gig HDD's /home > Thanks a lot for your time, > [1]http://wiki.debian.org/LVM ------ Regards, Angus Hedger Debian GNU/Linux User PGP Public Key 0xEE6A4B97
