I know this can be a tough call on how to partition a drive, but I am
looking for some input.
My system will be used as for my own personal use, no server for
outside, though I may run a web server for private in home use, some
games, whatever I wish to play and experiment.
Users, mainly just me, and perhaps a family member or three.
Here is what I quickly setup.
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 471M 271M 176M 61% /
udev 1004M 208K 1004M 1% /dev
/dev/hda1 38M 2.6M 34M 8% /boot
/dev/hda5 4.6G 185M 4.2G 5% /var
/dev/hda6 31G 2.3G 27G 8% /usr
shm 1004M 0 1004M 0% /dev/shm
What caught me off guard was that fact that /home is located under / and
that is where my user profiles are being set, instead of /usr/home like
it is on my freebsd system.
When I copied over my personal files, it quickly filled up the /
partition, which I have since deleted.
Now I noticed that there is a /usr/home, what exactly is that used for,
since users are not there by default?
I would figure /boot does not really change much in size, leave as is,
maybe shrink a few mb.
/var, up and down, perhaps bring it down a gig, gig and a half.
/usr, would grow depending on software installs, much as possible. I
have not installed much currently.
If /home was on its own, I am guessing that the current / allocation
would be fine?
Anyone confirm?
Now I just have to figure what I want /home to be, or perhaps could the
default setup for users be located in /usr/home?
Would this cause problems?
Is it non standard?
Thanks
Sean
