Partitioning

superdude_876 · 10-19-2005, 06:35 PM

I've checked google and I can't seem to find the proper way to partition a linux system. I know there is some better way to do it than have a swap and then one big konkin' partition. Could somebody please tell me what the most logical way to do this is? Any help would be appreciated.

For a server , I do this:
swap : 2* your ram
/ : 200Meg
/tmp : 150Meg
/var : 300Meg
/usr: 2Gig
/home:100Meg * number of users

The most important is to put home outside the root.
You can also put /etc outside.
When you reinstall, you can keep /home and /etc for example.
