16MB /boot 5GB /var 5GB /usr/portage 15-20GB / REST /home swap as a swapfile where you want it to lie or 512MB-2GB swap partition. So you would have 6-7 partitions. no XFS, because it is highly unstable. No JFS, because it is slow. No ext4 because it is dev material. ext2 for /boot, reiserfs for /usr/portage, because it saves lots of space there and if it does become fragmented, you can mkfs /usr/portage without any risks - everything gone can be restored with an emerge --sync. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
