Hello list, It's difficult to come up with a one-size-fits-all disk layout for Linux. In the past I've just "punted" and created a single 3390-3-sized root file system. That often fills up quickly, so most would probably agree that more space is require. Here is a proposed minidisk layout for two 3390-3s:
MDISK 100 3390 0001 0050 => for /boot => cannot boot from a logical volume MDISK 101 3390 0051 0500 => for / => in event that lv is hosed, system will not boot MDISK 102 3390 0551 2788 => for LVM volume group => to break file systems out of the root MDISK 103 3390 0001 3338 => for LVM volume group => to be able to grow in other than / and /boot A volume group can then be carved into the following logical volumes /usr usr-lv 1.6GB => to allow for a fair number of packages /var var-lv 300MB /opt opt-lv 400MB => to allow for X and a graphical desktop /srv srv-lv 50MB /home home-lv 50MB => utilize central NFS-automounted space later /tmp tmp-lv 400MB => (or put it into a tmpfs?) ??? => any missing that could fill up? These LVs would leave the volume group with more than 1GB free for growth. Comments on this proposal? Thanks.
