It's theoretical reasoning. It's good for understanding. And no, it's not worth the time for people who, unlike the thread starter, just want things up and running. But his questions are good to think about in principle, since distros like Debian need such prior to changing the partition recommendations. > Are the amount of space lost - expressed > as a percentage of the disk really worth all the time being spent on it > ? > > And the cpu overhead for using separate partitions and lvm - again with > todays cpus.... No, *they* wont' be worth it. Neither space nor CPU will show noticeable improvements either way as far as I can see. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkuLDVEACgkQ+VSRxYk440+kWgCfcxDbb+cteK87GH0L9J8YExgr UfwAoLrr/YT0rLFCXROThju6OWbLYy17 =fwwk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
