Re: [fsug-tvm] Single Data Partition. (GNU/Linux)
Hi, Creating partions not my problem. I was getting frustrated with my file organisational skills, so thought I would put everything together and create some kind of index. I created one big ext4 to store everything and now Im trying out indexing systems, frankly I was looking for something that does exactly clone spotlight in mac. So far the results are not good and some findings are pretty ugly- like neopmuk in my kde never worked. At this time I am settled with recoll, which uses xapian as its backend. Thanks for replying.

Re: [fsug-tvm] Single Data Partition. (GNU/Linux)
I have been using a single data partition for a long time. No problems. You can use the space more efficiently and copying is always fast. I have two paritions for Windows and Linux and a separate one to store Debian ISO. But if you run into problems I don't know any tools to fix it without Windows. In Windows you can use Norton Partition Manager to change the partitions any way you want without affecting existing partitions. Maybe you can do the same with 'parted'? -- "Freedom is the only law".

I think its better to classify and partition the volumes appropriately by considering on what all partition there will be frequent writes and on what all partitions only frequent read is done. Eg: Movies,tutorial and stuffs like that can be stored in a volume as it has frequent read but occasional writes. and codes, document preparation, personal auditing on various stuffs, mails, can be partitioned in a separate volume as it has frequent writes and read. To get enough performance you can tweak the file system mount flags like "noatime" on frequent read only volumes and many others are there. Also you can use "resiserfs" on /var filesystem as it faster and efficient that ext* filesystems on small files. There are many minor over-killing stuffs like that. ;) If performance is not that important, you can neglect the above said suggestions. -- Arjun S R http://about.me/arjunsr -- "Freedom is the only law".

Re: [fsug-tvm] Single Data Partition. (GNU/Linux)
If you are using that system as a standalone and a primary backup machine. This will do good provided you are not using any rolling release distros. If you get screwed then you can keep the two halves. ;) -- Arjun S R http://about.me/arjunsr On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 20:58, Dhananjay Balan wrote: > Hai, > > I have a computer with ~300 gigs of harddisk, where 30-50GB stores the OS. > I was wondering if theres any problem with using the remaining space as > single partion to store my entire data. has anyone done it before?

What if you want to install another OS later?

[fsug-tvm] Single Data Partition. (GNU/Linux)
Hai, I have a computer with ~300 gigs of harddisk, where 30-50GB stores the OS. I was wondering if theres any problem with using the remaining space as single partion to store my entire data. has anyone done it before?
