And this was a bad idea. But IMO it was also a bad idea to respond.
I think that we don't need any religious discussions here.

Newer dhcpcds can be configured to request an address when an
interface goes up. Did a change in settings slip through a
dispatch-conf? (Aside: This is the main cause of network issues when
dhcpcd is installed and a dhcpd is not running.)

Hello,

The idea is to be able to set up a batch of 2T+ disks now and in the future,
all pretty much the same (generic) layout for both bios based systems and
efi systems, so the drives do not have to have the partition tables changed.
A standard partition scheme will put the extra disk space (according to
size) all into the /usr/local partition. A wide variety of File systems will
be imposed on the /usr/local and maybe the other 
(3) partitions:: /; /boot/: /usr File systems can change, especially what 
is on /usr/local. Distributed file systems will be routinely tested too.
All drive will keep the default boot-drive partitions, maybe for multiple
different systems/kernels (all linux though) so if a drive is to be used
as a non-boot drive, the some of the partitions may not be mounted for a
particular experiment (cluster/codes) configuration. I hope this clearly
states the ultimate goal so the myriad of bios systems I have can be used,
but also the same scheme with many new embedded and efi based systems with
many different processors (and Soc) on the mobo. Much of the testing will
be only changing codes on gentoo systems. But there will be time when a
*buntu cluster is tested, keeping all the hardware identically the same
as a gentoo reference run.


Testing a wide (wild?) variety of clusters will constantly mix and match
disks to various motherboards and embedded systems (with sata) interfaces.

So what I'm looking for is for someone to edit the partition table I
post below, so that it looks like what I need. I have tons of verbiage of
what to do, but not a single, example  partition table of what it would
actually look like (perhaps as viewed by several different (CLI)
partitioning tools (gdisk, fdisk, parted) to highlight the minutia
of the partition table.. A companion fstab (ext2/3/4) that works, would be
keenly appreciated. I only ask because I have failed at this effort in the
past and currently.

I intend to only use grub-legacy for this effort. But, some explanation
as to when I would absolutely need grub-2, if that case even exists, would
be keen knowledge to have. Some other common distros, when I cannot get
something to work with gentoo, would be alpine and arch, when a gentoo
solution evades me. I might even spin up a complete (DC/OS) like mesosphere
or CoreOS for benchmarking. The idea is to take a small cluster and spin it
up with several different (cluster centric) solutions to problems and
measure the performance in a variety of test surveys. The suspected outcome
is that gentoo  that is minimized and optimize (including kernel and
compiler and framework tweaks), is always the performance king of the
clusters. At this point my evidence is anecdotal and not 'publishable
grade'.  I want to be fair to the bloated vendor communities and have a
consistent hardware platform, for these test-surveys.

Additionally, searching out details of kernel tweaks that optimize 
a particular problem-set of cluster-code-solutions is also of keen interest
to me.

Agreed.

Guys, the drives are 2T and larger, so the ridiculously largest partition
size needed in the worst case scenario, that works as specd-above is the
best answer.

I have never had a linux system with less than 6 kernels, often many more,
just for that one system. I use to hack kernels for breakfast (2.2-early
3.x) so yes tons of space for kernel hackery is warranted. All kernels will
also be archived to a separate backup machine/system. Kernel tweaks (as
found in kernel sources, as well as many codes in the wild, pretty much
means that endless kernel tests are warranted and that does require gigs of
disk space and organized back end storage and notations.

I was think 2G for /boot. Here is a common partition table and subsequent
fstab that folks are encourage to edit as to what they would use for this
universal partitioning scheme.


#parted -l /dev/sda
Model: ATA WDC WD20EARX-00P (scsi)

An alternate workaround that I found (I had the same issue) is to run partprobe. It'll find them and add them to /dec whether you have kernel support for GPT or not.

I haven't looked at the handbook for a long time but I hope that it
doesn't recommend creating both of these partitions by default. It
doesn't make sense for a default setup.

It's the ESP (EF00)  that can be used as /boot, EF02 is a special partition

Then the OP is lucky as the handbook describes this exact scheme the OP
wants. Only one adjusment should be considered - I would recommend around
500 MB for /boot if the OP wants to use multiple systems and if

The OP wants a partition scheme for both "standard" and efi firmware,
so he wants an EF02 (gdisk name) of 1MB and an EF00 (also gdisk name).

The OP wanted the EF02 to be mounted as "/boot" so it has to be larger

Hi,

If you're using GPT disk and want to use uefi then you can just create one
efi partition (should be around 200-500mb (depends if you're planning on
using multiple systems on the same disk) - this will hold .efi files for
all your systems as well as the bootloader.
I you're using GTP but want to stick to MBR, then you create 1MB partition
to hold the boot loader, then /boot and the rest.

About the 100MB EFI-partition: it's a Microsoft recommendation:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFI_System_Partition, read the "create
the partition" section.
