Do you organise your disk as one big partition of 40Gb?
I ask because a have recently transferred my linux install from a 2Gb disk
to a 10Gb. I made the decision to partition large sections off separately
so that /usr has its' own space for example.
/etc/fstab
/dev/hdc2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc4 /mnt/junk vfat rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
/dev/hdc5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc7 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
etc...
Is this a good idea or not? It was certainly useful during the install as
I could boot from a floppy and mount hard-drive partitions into the floppy
/ filesystem.
What are the arguments for each side?
Also, what are the relative merits of ext2 vs ext3 vs reiserfs?
Tom.
