i think this tables was a bit garbled in my mailclient ?
would you mind pasting your orginal into

I would not want boot too be too small.
you may need to install things like memtest. and other tools that may go
in there. and depending on your setup initrd can be smaller or larger.
also this is not a LVM volume so growing it is a lot harder then for the
other volumes.

This need to correlate with squid config we provide i belive.
