[Wolfgang Schweer]I propose compeltely dropping Edu's own partitioning scheme and simply using the corresponding step from the Debian installer, or defaulting to jsut one partition or at most three (root, home and backup).IMO this change would reduce the existing flexibility to rather simple use cases.With one partition, a user will be able to kill system services that are unable to cope with a full /var/. And that is the case for quite a lot of services. I strongly recommend against the 'just one partition' idea. Users are able to write to /tmp/ and /var/tmp/, and can easily fill up those partitions too. I came up with the current partition scheme used in Debian Edu based on the scheme used at the university of Oslo for 30 years, to ensure good reliability for system services while keeping theq flexibility provided by LVM. It is not really 'complex', and the debian-edu-fsautoresize tool allow easy adjustment for partition sizes when needed. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
I agree with Petter on the above and share the same observation / experience and love the greater flexibility.
