More thoughts:
- some programs like mysql by default create their data in /var, so if you
wanted to guess how much to allocate you need to take that into account (or
simlink it elsewhere).
- On another os (solaris) I have put a copy of the RAID system's redundant
database on a small inner cylinder that would usually be too slow for other
things, and hopefully will never be used "in anger". That partition doesn't
even have a filesystem on it.
- Some hardware OS / BIOS / LILO combinations need to have to boot partition
on a particular partition number so sometimes you have to put up with having
boot taking up your fastest cylinder.
