That's why we discuss it ;-) I could be wrong either ... > > a) Standard-Usage (2 HDDs unformatted) > > This is not standard at all.

To my intention machines with only one hdd are discussed within "[opensuse] Feature wishlist: Comment on Separate partitions for /root and /home directories as installation default" Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ... So "Standard" here means a profile for a machine with two hdds. > > c) Server-Usage (4 HDDs unformatted) > > > > /dev/hda > > /dev/hda1 /boot 100M > > /dev/hda2 swap (2 times RAM) > > Why does everybody want swap to be twice the RAM size?

Maybe I am blind and maybe my knowledge here is rather old, but someday someone said that "a good choice for swap-size is to double the amount of RAM". I agree that swap can move to a hdd which is mostly inactive. > > /dev/hda3 / (Rest of hda) > > > > /dev/hdb > > /dev/hdb1 /home (complete disk space) > > Add /dev/hdc to /home by using RAID or using it for backups.
