Hi all,
While I'm waiting for the components of my new machine (testing/jessie)
I'm thinking about the optimal partitioning scheme which should last for the
next 10 years :-)
The system looks like:
Haswell 3.4 GHz
8 GB RAM (later upgradeable up to 32 GB)
250 GB SSD
2 TB HDD
What do you think about the following:
=== SSD: ===
/boot unencrypted, 300 MB
/ ext4, encrypted, 25-30 GB
/home ext4, encrypted, keyfile, 220-225 GB
User data for two users
=== HDD (in this order for performance reasons): ===
/var HDD, ext4, encrypted, keyfile, 25 GB
It's so large because I want to add a directory /var/src below /var
to compile a kernel on the HDD if necessary
/databases HDD, ext4, encrypted, keyfile, barrier=0, 10 GB
Used for the db's of digikam (1 user), akonadi and amarok
(2 users each)
swap HDD, swapfs, encrypted, 5 GB (not hibernation)
/video HDD, btrfs, 560 GB
Subvolumes:
/video/editing
/video/series
=> for video editing or series, no backup, not encrypted
/data HDD, btrfs, encrypted, keyfile, RAID1 (2 x 700 GB).
With subvolumes for digikam archive, movie archive and music
What do you think (sizes, file systems, number of partitions, ...)?
Is it still a good idea to put /var on an HDD, not a SSD?
Video editing is currently not required, it's more like an option for the
future (1y or so) and might require a second HDD (source and target
drive for rendering to increase r/w performance).
To keep it simple and usable I'll use keyfiles for all partitions except
/.
Thanks for your inputs and all the best.
