Hi, I am a (generally) linux newbie trying to jump in the deep end of learning linux. I have read a lot of documentation on the correct way to partition a hard disk by placing /, /home, /usr, /var, /boot, /tmp and obviously /swap on their own partitions, the size requirements and physical layout of the drive. My machine does not have any other OS's on it and has a second hard drive. I have not touched this second hard drive partitioning wise and it has nothing on it. I am trying to set up a semi debian workstation/file server and would like to use this second 80gb hard drive. What is the correct way to partition this disk when it will contain only documents and data? I have an existing 25Gb /home directory on the first 40gb hard drive but don't know whether to enable the full 80gb second drive as /home. Can you have two /home directories on separate disks? Do I need another partition on the second drive as swap? I'd appreciate any help regarding this matter.
Thank you very much for our time. Scott. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
