I finally got tired of scrounging for disk space, and bought a new hard
drive for my laptop. Now, I’m puzzling over how to partition it. My
current drive has separate partitions for Microsoft Windows (which I
only admit to here out of sense of honestly, but I do occasionally need
it for work), swap, /, and /home. As I recall, this arrangement was
adopted in ancient times (oh, two or three years ago), and may not have
been the best choice even then.
First Question: What’s the current ‘best practice’, partition-wise, for
a new GNU/Linux install?
One boot partition of 100-200 MB
One partition for windows.
One big partition as a PV
Then Logical Volumes for root and swap.
Or just one big partition with no separate /boot
Its not like you're adding more drives to your laptop.
