I prefer not an a lvm partition. But, that's because I use loop-aes
underneath lvm (my PVs are loopback devices), but want to use random keys
for and not encrypt twice.

Hi,
the more partitions, the more wasted space.
For example /var 2gb /vat is mostly enough, but sometimes, you need 4,6,8 GB,
but 6/8GB /var is just overkill.
/home should always be on its own partition, this way, you can reinstall
everything without risking your user-data, or share /home betw

I found using a separate partition for /opt was a pain, so I mounted /usr/
opt at /opt. It keeps

I've got blackdown, sun jdk, a few other apps installed in /opt. I
originally set my partition to 4g, but currently only use 495mb. So you
should be fine

Hello,
This is a desktop system that I'm planning the partitioning scheme for.
OK. I hadn't thought about software suspend. So 1.5 GB swap it is! I had
initially chosen 256MB because, not even the full 768 MB of RAM was used
when running KDE 3.4, a movie in Kaffein and "update world" in the
back

Yes, I think it's wise to have some swap. I've got 512MB and I have found
that

Traditionally swap was set to twice ram: I think

Is this laptop or desktop?? Swap may still be needed if you're planning
Hello folks,
Now that my data has been backed up, I'm looking to covert one of my

I'm planning on using LVM2. I'll be installing most of KDE 3.4. No
