I have always (well since MANDK 7.0) set up my two hard drives as the first
hard drive with a windows fat32 4 gig and the rest of an 8 gig for linux (as
/home (currently using rieserFS), /swap, and my second hard drive (10 gigs)
as a fat32 "d" drive (5 gigs)and the rest as / (everything else) the need
for my spreading everything out like that comes from ever expanding need for
hard drive space, and the fact that I have data from the days when my c
drive was 30 mgs and d was 20 with disk stacker an dos 5.0. some programs
like to find themselves on the same drives years later, at least to still
find the other parts where they left themselves.
the problems with wasted disk space because of larger cluster size with
larger disk size is a fat type of file system. you really do not need to be
as concerned with ext2 or reiser. /home should be able to hold all the crap
you and your users will want to download or create and keep.
