you can resize it later if you need more space, but I think it's easier to split your system with some separate filesystems than to (for example) put everything in / on a LV and give it more space later. > Part. mount size > ========================== > 1 /boot 32 MB > 5 / 200 MB I'd suggest a little more space (and to put /boot into /)... maybe 512 MB is OK > LVusr /usr 3 GB > LVvar /var 15 GB > LVhome /home 10 GB > LVtmp /tmp 200 MB Maybe it's better to make a bigger /tmp, say 1 GB, because of some programs (for example, nautilus-cd-burner uses it to create a temporary iso file - OK, you can change it's tmp directory, but by default it uses /tmp)... > Can/should one put swap in an LV or is it no better than a swap file > then?
