This looks fine. Some suggestions/comments though: - I wouldn't personally bother with a separate /usr. You could move this onto the Root LV and remove the Usr LV. - The size of the Root LV is more than plenty for /+/usr combined for all but the biggest installs. - The size of /home is very big. Not really a problem if you need that much space right away, but I'd personally have made it about ten times as small and left the remaining space unallocated until I was sure what I needed it for. - If you made the tmp LV into swap space so that you had around 18GiB swap total, you could then mount a tmpfs on /tmp which could potentially be much faster, depending upon the amount of memory in the system. Or just remove it and extend the tmp LV --now that you're on LVM you have the power to play around with this! See /etc/default/tmpfs. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
