Hello!
I've been using Linux for almost 2 and a half years now. First I started
with Slackware, then later went to Red Hat 4.1 and so on...
Many of the manuals that I've read always told me to create lots of Linux
partitions, like:
swap
/ (root)
/usr
/home
/var
/boot
However, I never really paid attention to this, and I have always installed
linux with only 2 partitions: one for swap and a / (root) with all
available space.
Do I gain better performance by having many partitions?
The only reason I think for having /home in another partition is if you
have like other HD or something. I don't think there's a point of a
home-user with 2 gigs HD install his Linux using 5 or more partitions..
Am I missing something or those manuals guys are a little dumb? ;-)
Thanks!!
