Yes: tell the installer that you want to do manual partitioning. Then you can create whatever partitioning scheme you like. > And if there is would you say /usr should/could go onto a separate partition? Once upon a time, yes, but not any more: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/4194/138 A complete CentOS installation is in the single-digit gigs, which is smaller than even most removable media these days. Even small embedded systems can get a useful Linux installation onto a single flash IC or whatever it is they use for mass storage. When installing to a single volume, the only partitions I make these days are to provide storage space isolation, as a cheap alternative to setting up quotas, log rotation, etc.: * /var if you expect large log files, large MySQL DBs, large /var/www trees, etc. * /home if you want to prevent problems with the root disk if normal users end up filling that partition with files they create. * Network file shares for the same reason. With filesystems featuring pooled/shared storage (ZFS, btrfs, APFS…) I tend to create only one partition, then rely on the filesystem’s quota feature if necessary to avoid such problems. Even on single-volume systems without pooled storage, you can usually get away with a minimal partition scheme: * Small /boot (plus maybe /boot/efi and/or /biosboot) * swap partition * root for everything else This is because modern Unix-type filesystems will will typically reserve the last 5% of the space for root only, so that normal users simply cannot fill a filesystem, so that the OS won’t crash due to system daemons being unable to write to the disk. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
