Cool! Someone else with a hankering for a backup partition. I partition every HD with at least one backup partion (usually mounted on /backup/hda, /backup/hdb, etc) and usually give it 50% of the disk space. This way it's at least big enough to save a copy of the entire working partitions (or a good supply incremental backups), although to be honest, 20g backup more than covers my needs. And more importantly, having a backup partition on two drives guarantees you won't be toasted should one drive fail. Just my personal preferences... I'm curious. What is the reasoning for splitting /boot at all? Why not simply leave it in the root / partition? I've always seen it suggested to be split into it's own partion, I just don't see the point.
