In <URL:http://wiki.skolelinux.no/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/HowTo>, under 'Resize Partitions'. I wrote it. As the partitions become large fsck time grow exponentially larger, and backup restore times grows linearly. Very large partitions will give you problems in emergencies. >> In that case, how do you have more home space? Is it by creating >> home1, home2, etc.? Is there any documentation for how to do that, and >> how to get users' homes onto those different partitions? Yes, adding home1 ... homeN is the intended way to do it. > I _guess_ it could be ment to use the autoresizing feature which is > described in > http://wiki.skolelinux.no/DebianEdu/Documentation/Etch/HowTo - when > you use it, the partitions automatically grow bigger (if there is > space to grow).
