Ok now, i know partitioning can sometimes be a contentious issue, and
there's not generally a "one right way". Being as that is the case though,
i'm going to be rebuilding a machine shortly and thought i'd ask for
opinions on the partition structure i'm considering:
2x80 gig hard drives
drive1: 30meg /boot ext3
244meg / reiserfs
750meg swap
remaining lvm physical volume
drive2: 1024meg swap
remaining lvm physical volume
Both lvm physical volumes added to a single lvm volume group, totalling
158gigs.
That lvm volume group then initially split into the following lvm logical
volumes:
/usr 2gigs reiserfs
/usr/local 1gig reiserfs
/var 500meg reiserfs
/home 25gigs reiserfs
with /opt -> /usr/local
So, what do people think? anything i'm doing there that sounds silly?
Also, i'm going to eventually have several uml and vmware machines on
here. Should i create users for these and plonk their files into the home
directories, or should i put them somewhere in /var (with an appropriate
extension in size of course)? Or is there somewhere else that it's better
to put them?
