Partitions on Linux:
Linux creates a number of partitions. These partitions can be
compared to folders where the different components of Linux
can be installed. Although it might seem a little unnecessary
at first, the system of partitioning followed by Linux leads to
better organisation of files. Actually Linux can work perfectly
well with just a Swap and a root partition, but you can create
more partitions for different purposes depending on your
preference. Different files of Linux make use of the following
partitions. Note that in case some package of Linux needs to
be installed in another partition that is not present on your
system, it gets installed in the Root partition.
Swap Partition: The Swap partition is used as the "Virtual
Memory"- Memory that is used over and above the RAM. The
Swap partition should beequal either to the size of your RAM
or 16MB, whichever is larger. You can create more than one
Swap Partition if required.
Root partition: This partition only needs to contain the files
required during the boot sequence and the system
configuration files. A root partition works with 50-100MB,
but if you plan to keep using Linux for a long time, keep it
larger. The Linux Root partition is given a mount-point of "/".
/usr partition: This is where the major bulk of the Linux and
Linux-based packages install. It should be between 300-
700MB, although 700MB isn't the limit and you should
generous as possible with this particular partition.
/home partition: In case you plan to use your machine
server, than this partition can come in handy. It stores a
users individual directories. So it's size would naturally de
on the number of users that would be accessing it.
/usr/local partition: This partition can be used to store soft
other than what comes with the Red Hat installation pad
Naturally, keeping future software installations in mind.
this partition about 50-80MB.
/usr/src partition: This partition is basically used to store the si
code. It stores the code of the Linux kernel and also the co
any other packages that are installed. Keep about 20MB foi
/tmp partition: As the name implies, this partition is usi
store temporary files. Keep aside about 10-20MB for this.
/var partition: Log files and Printer spool files are stored in
var/log and the/var/spool partitions.
/opt partition: "Third-party" packages, i.e., packages not cr<
by Red Hat are stored in the/opt partition. Taking into ac(
future installations, put aside about 200MB.
/boot partition: This partition contains all the boot files th=AB
accessed by LILO. You don't need more than 7-8MI
this partition.
