Hello I going to buy a new harddrive since I dont have much space. Over the past few years I've stop separating my harddrive doing only 3 partitions.
1- Linux root 2- swap space 3- windows for much simplicity and because I really hate when some process die because of /var has not enough space or something like that. I know that everybody have their opinion, such as putting the swap space in the middle of the drive, between /usr and /home to let the harddrive going to space without effort. Other peoples may prefer putting the swap space at the immediate beginning of the drive. saying swap have to be faster, and faster is the beginning of the drive. I think it would be very interresting to discuss it over the list, especialy for newbie people reading the list to get all those opinion in one place, such as a mail or a clug webpage ;) I now thinking buying a 120gb because its cheaping per gb. And think about creating those partitions.... /tmp 1gb swap 1gb ( i dont mind on a 120gb) /var 5gb / 10gb /home 20gb /usr 20gb Win2K 20gb Test 10gb (just for trying different OS/distrib) Data 30gb (extra data movie and music (Fat32)) any other idea ? thanks for you input.
