I'd set up reasonnable system partitions (depending on what you'll install)
such as
50/100 MB for /boot
2/4GB for /
swap (twice ram)
then use LVM for the rest. with LVM you'll be able to increase/decrease
partitions size seamlessly

I see a couple of problems already. /boot should be no more than 100MB.
Anything more is a waste. / should be way more than 500MB. I know that
some will say I run my entire Linux box on a 486DX66 and 250MB HD!
Well, this is RH8 and given what you're
.
Now I have to go read up on LVM to see if I can add it to the mix.
Thanks again!

All,
I'm setting up a RH8 server (FTP) onto mirrored 40 GB drives (38162 usable...doing the
RAID as part of the OS install) and need some partitioning suggestions for the
installation. What partitions and sizes should I use (and why for those who feel like
being extra informative...thanks in
Partitioning can be a subjective thing since it depends, in part, on
what you intend to do with the machine. If, for instance, you intend to
have a sizable user base, then you want to have plenty of /home space.
Regardless, most people new to Linux make the mistake of not making /usr
and /var

I typically partition as follows:
/boot - can be very small, around 50-75MB. I think RH8 recommends 75mb.
/ - I like to make this fairly large, but not the largest since it
houses everything not specified elsewhere.
/home - If you intend to have lots of users or share

Let's say I have a 8 gig hard drive. How would everyone do it and for

As said, it depends, but I think you are looking for what other people
have done and why...

Depends on what you are doing with it. I usually do
10 for /boot
100-150 for /
100-200 for /var
In addition, I'd split out /tmp, and of course don't forget your swap which
the old rule of thumb is 2*physical ram, but I usually use 128M+ (2.2.x) or so with
disk capacities being so outrageously huge.

Forgot about swap... oops :)
I usually use either 2xRAM, or 128, depending on the system (my home
machine has 128 physical, and i don't feel that i need 256 swap)

As I see it, the main rationale for making a partition is (1) because you

Cut it up into bite-sized pieces, and serve with Ranch dressing.
