I will go out on a limb here. The reasoning I followed was that I rather have / a bit too large. If needed, I can add a directory to / and a symlink to ~/ 1) No seperation when the HD is smaller then 30 GB 2) A minimum of 10 GB for / 3) A maximmum of 20 GB for / 4) /home to / should be 2:1 Some examples: Total / /home 20GB 20GB -- 25GB 10GB 15GB 30GB 10GB 20GB 40GB 13GB 27GB 60GB 20GB 40GB 120GB 20GB 100GB This is a default. People who run servers and experienced people should, in my opinion, regulate the partitioning to their needs anyhow. For comparasing, below my partitions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 9.4G 5.5G 3.9G 59% /media/backup /dev/hdb2 38G 8.9G 29G 24% / tmpfs 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hde1 11G 4.6G 5.5G 46% /home /dev/hde2 11G 8.4G 1.7G 84% /media/mp3 /dev/hde3 11G 5.5G 4.6G 55% /media/Backup2 /dev/hde4 123G 82G 42G 67% /media/movies /dev/hdf1 11G 877M 9.2G 9% /media/root_10.0 /dev/hdf2 20G 132M 19G 1% /media/home_10.0 /dev/hdf3 121G 13G 102G 12% /media/data Also part of my / 7.2M /bin 351K /dev 42M /etc 74M /lib 0 /mnt 1.4G /opt 4.5G /srv 137K /tmp 0 /sys 744M /var 2.4G /usr 15M /boot 4.6G /home 898M /proc 11M /sbin 43M /root du: `/media/dvd': No such file or directory du: `/media/dvdr': No such file or directory du: `/media/cdrecorder': No medium found du: `/media/floppy': No medium found 114G /media 129G / houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
