[PLUG] Recommendations on how to partition

[Mike Leone <turgon@mike-leone.com>]

Well, it looks like I'm at a point where I'm ready to reinstall. I had major
ReiserFS corruption in both /usr and /home (possibly others). I've managed
to fix /home, and was finally able to copy off /home to a spare harddrive.

So here's my question: presuming that the drive is not physically fubarred,
I want to reformat and reinstall Libranet 2.7. It's a 60G ATA 100 drive
(amazing how cheap disk drives are ... :-).

Anyway, here's what I'm thinking:

/boot		30M (room to test many kernels :-)
/		1G
/opt		2G (in case something likes to install in there)
/tmp		2G
/var		4G
/usr		12G
And the rest split between /home, and a FAT32 storage partition, so that my
Win2K drive can see and share things there (storage graphics, music, etc),
for those few times when I boot into Win2K.

Have a missed anything? Is there any other standard directory that should be
on it's own partition? /usr/local/src or whatever (that's just an example)

I don't think so, but hey - I'm very rarely right anymore. :-)
