As Chris said in one of his replies, it makes things much easier if/when i need to trash the o/s, as my non-package managed custom stuff will stay intact without any difficulty. > > /var 500meg reiserfs > > This is too small by far for any nontrivial purpose. well, there's not really going to be much running on the base system. most of the fun stuff will be going on in virtual machines i think. I'll probably follow Paul's suggestions over certain /var subdirectories though :) > With LVM, does it really matter? You can just resize on the fly when you > work out that you messed up.

Yep, I can resize on the fly, but I thought i'd try and get a good initial layout anyway, so that i'm not immediately having to resize stuff all over the place. Thanks for the advice, Jody
