As the proposer of this item I think YaST should indeed come up with "Do
the right thing (tm)" ;-).
In first instance YaST should know about "Usage-Profiles".
The follwing examples are just what they are and subject to talk about.
These examples could apply on systems with already partitioned HDDs as
well.
a) Standard-Usage (2 HDDs unformatted)
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1 /boot 100M
/dev/hda2 swap (2 times RAM)
/dev/hda3 / (Rest of hda)
/dev/hdb
/dev/hdb1 /home (complete disk space)
/home should always be mounted on the HDD with the most
available disk space to my intention.
b) Advanced-Usage (3 HDDs unformatted)
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1 /boot 100M
/dev/hda2 swap (2 times RAM)
/dev/hda3 / (Rest of hda)
/dev/hdb
/dev/hdb1 /home (complete disk space)
/dev/hdc
/dev/hdc1 /opt (50% of disk space)
/dev/hdc2 /usr (Rest of hdc)
/home should always be mounted on the HDD with the most
available disk space to my intention.
c) Server-Usage (4 HDDs unformatted)
/dev/hda
/dev/hda1 /boot 100M
/dev/hda2 swap (2 times RAM)
/dev/hda3 / (Rest of hda)
/dev/hdb
/dev/hdb1 /home (complete disk space)
/dev/hdc
/dev/hdc1 /opt (50% of disk space)
/dev/hdc2 /usr (Rest of hdc)
/dev/hdd
/dev/hdd1 /var (complete disk space)
/home should always be mounted on the HDD with the most
available disk space to my intention.
bis dahin/kind regards
Martin Mewes
