so if i understood right i have to go with /boot and a stripped / on normal disks, with / duplicated to avoid loss of startup. on root i should put /lib32 /lib64 /etc /bin /sbin /root /dev /usr (excluded /usr/src and /usr/local and /usr/portage) /var (i should exclude /var/tmp which contains a lot of stuff due to ccache dir configured there and /var/paludis since there i have the additional repos) then on the lvm volume i should insert everything else. am i right? i wonder what happens to /proc and /sys since they are loaded through fstab and on how much space i should have. do 5gb do the trick? i don't use suspend to disk since the last time i've tried it didn't worked with my notebook and the only suspend i can use is suspend to ram so i don't really need swap. i use it only when i compile some large stuff as kdelibs and similar since my 860+mb of ram do not fill in everyday use. so the only think to do is find a good backup utility that is able to make a copy of the entire system. if i copy the system by hand from a live-cd would that work? if so, what should i avoid to copy?
