Now that I have my Seagate 1TB drive functional and recognized by
Linux, I need to format the thing. As I mentioned in my previous
thread, my current boot drive on this box is only 40 GB. I intend to
keep it as the boot drive and use the new drive primarily for extra
storage. Since I don't do regular backups (I already know what you
will say about that) I am also wondering what I might be able to do,
now that I have space, for a little added security in that matter.
Perhaps I could just copy the 40GB boot drive to a backup directory
tree and keep it updated with rsync, or some such? Any ideas on that?
My main question, however, was partitioning the 1TB drive. I have
never had this much space to deal with. While it may be technically
possible to simply make one big partition, I am guessing that it is
probably not a practical way to do it (and I will want several
different partitions, anyway). If I am using ext3 partitions with
neither vast numbers of tiny files, nor small numbers of monstrously
large files, what is a reasonable maximum size for a partition that
will be easy on the file system and the drive, itself?
Hi
I have a disk with the same space and i use lvm dividing it in several
partitions and a 300 gb free space block if any of the partitions need
more space. It's very practical and dependable. And the filesystem is
ext4 for all of them.
Good luck!
