Advices to partition layout
 
I have a 16 gb micro sd card and a 500gb sata via usb which will be used on rpi.
It will have at least this three partitions:
Code:
/dev/mmcblkp0 /boot
/dev/mmcblkp1 swap
/dev/sda /
I am thinking in put /etc to use another partition from sdcard, what else would be interesting too to put there to use the rest of space from sdcard?

do not use sdcard, but use your hard disk instead (for swap, for storage, for home, for whatever). Especially /etc may be on sdcard, but hdd is much faster (even a pendrive is faster than that sdcard). But it also depends on what is running on your pi.

Keep in mind that to have /etc on an extra partition you will have to create your own customized init script inside an initramfs/initrd.

I did not use anything less then necessary from sdcard, so:
Code:
/dev/mmcblkp0 /boot
/dev/sda1 swap
/dev/sda2 /
thanks for the advices.

This, worked on first boot, but when a i had to switch it on / off, did not boot again.
Code:
/dev/mmcblkp0 /boot
/dev/sda1 swap
/dev/sda2 /
Like TobiSGD said i think it was because /etc, which is under / was under other partition, so i will do:
Code:
/dev/mmcblkp0 /boot
/dev/mmcblkp1 /
/dev/sda1 swap
/dev/sda2 /home
/dev/sda3 /usr
/dev/sda4 /tmp

I cant boot with swap on other device than the one with / so my final /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/mmcblkp0 /boot
/dev/mmcblkp1 swap
/dev/mmcblkp2 /
/dev/sda1 /home
/dev/sda2 /usr
/dev/sda3 /tmp
