At first glance, looks nice... but,

X and a graphical desktop?  Should we be encouraging this?  Or does the
speed of the z10 make it a moot point?  Will 10, 100 or 1000 KDE
desktops on a z10 matter?

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.
