A 1 TB drive is a lot of room and core linux only needs at most 60GB to host system files and programs.
Hard Drives that size will allow you to do a lot. Personally I would set hdd0 like this: partition 1 60GB / ext3/4 (4 is preferred) partition 2 1 GB Swap partition 3 100GB /var partition 4 100GB /usr partition 5 100GB /tmp partition 6 remaining amount /network Then I would set hdd1 thus: partition1 250GB /backup partition2 750GB /home > > > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group. > To post a message, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] > For more options, visit our group at > http://groups.google.com/group/linuxusersgroup
