If you're creating a RAID array from partitions, you don't need to create
further partitions. The only time I would partition an md device is if it
were crea

When I was using mdadm I would do it all the time. It is the easiest
way to do RAID with devices of different sizes. You just set up
multiple arrays across partitions o
Hello list,
Does it make sense to install a partition table on a RAID-1 device? I assume
it would only include a single partition table, but it might prevent some
programs from complaining they don't recognise the partition type. I have
one such device for /boot and another for lvm2 volumes.

It makes sense. Any world-writable directory should be noexec

If this is a production server I wouldn't use ext2. In the case of a
crash or reboot,

/nodev/noexec/nosuid is one way to make things a bit more
secure...

If you worry about waste consider bind-mounting both from the same
partition and install quotas to

Ok, this is the last question I need to answer for myself before
installing a final version of my new virtualized gentoo server...
I'll be using the following partition layout:
/boot (ext2), 100M
/swap, 2G
/ (ext4), 40G
then on LVM
/tmp (ext2), 5G? <- how big?
/var/tmp (ext2), 5G? <- how big?
