Here's my opinion:
* I wouldn't use raid for a desktop system but a backup program such
as rsnapshot. You can mirror each disk this way, the main advantage is
that when you throw something away by accident it is still there in
your backup while with raid you would have lost it. Raid (and lvm)

I'm a new GNU/Linux user. I've recently received a desktop with lots
of disk space and I've been thinking about how to use it effectively.
It will contain lots of multimedia files, and later I want to set up
mail & web servers on it, primarily for edification rather than
production, so these are my

Hi,
Here is my laptop partition, with sizes and the amount that is
free.
,
| FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on
| /dev/mapper/spark_vg-root_lv
| 4.0G 554M 3.2G 15% /

|24G 7.4G 16G
As Eduardo suggested, LVM is a good bet since it alows you to resize
partitions. This is my partition scheme for my desktop (which i intend
to reinstall soon):
deb64:~# df -h

/dev/sda2 23G 6.4G 16G 30% /

Situation:
1) running "monopartition" Debian on /dev/hda8
2) similar size spare partition on /dev/hda7 that can be sliced at will
3) /dev/hda5 FAT32 partition used as Windows XP "data partition"

I would like to transition from the "monopartition" to one with

Hi,
(3) If you don't mind spending a few rainy afternoons, you might want to
investigate lvm. It allows you to create virtual resizable partitions,
so the only thing you have to decide at install time is size-of-slash
and size-of-everything-else. It also allows you to do filesystem

I've been using GNU/Linux now for 18 months, and Debian for about 12. Currently,
my workstation hard drive is partitioned simply:
/dev/hda1 => /
/dev/hda2 => swap
I just purchased a new 120GB IDE drive, however, and would like to partition it
more effectively, now that I'm more comfortable with

Programs not packaged in .deb-packages goes to /usr/local.

You cannot spread /home across two partitions unless you use raid. You could
create /home and /home2 and then symlink all directories on /home2 to appear
on /home.
There is no magic partitioning scheme. You have to think
