After the fiasco with my music server, I've decided I may as well rebuild it.
The drive is 160 GB, and this is the partitioning scheme that I'm pondering
for it:
/ 20 GB
/home 10 GB
/var 5 GB
/tmp 5 GB
/opt 10 GB
/shared 110 GB
The /shared directory would contain music, pictures, and documents that our
family creates to share with each other. I worry that 5 GB may not be enough
for /var and /tmp, and I wonder if I really need a separate partition
for /opt.
Any feedback and suggestions -- and I don't mean to start any arguments over
the best partioning scheme -- would be greatly appreciated.
I havent followed the earlier discussions on this but using LVM is much
better
