I just install 4 partitions as you may see from /etc/fstab: [root@casablanca ~]# cat /etc/fstab # # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Tue Jul 27 13:18:24 2010 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # UUID=afe5a1d5-a316-4cfb-90e0-d7e44b582037 / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=f9671037-dc1f-48db-9af2-3fea0d8187c1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 UUID=db29d16c-6dd1-4403-8d3e-2188837d06af /data ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=767752a5-5c99-4076-82d0-8912ef12a0db swap swap defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /data/home /home auto bind 0 0 [root@casablanca ~]# I was not too certain, wheather /boot can be mounted on ext4 with F13, so instead of investigating very far, I created a separate partition with ext3. I loop-mount /home into /data so that erverything which may become large and larger is in /data. I also link mysql, named, and ldap from /var/lib into /data. The partition sizes are as follows: [root@casablanca ~]# df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 12095032 5612516 5868116 49% / tmpfs 1964368 240 1964128 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 198337 41380 146717 22% /boot /dev/sda5 462972776 47677060 391778020 11% /data [root@casablanca ~]# NOTE: do not use LVM with F13 and ext4. It took me quite a while to find out, that the "errors" I had on ext4 like: Jul 17 14:10:35 casablanca kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-0): ext4_mb_generate_buddy: EXT4-fs: group 80: 25516 blocks in bitmap, 25515 in gd ... (hundreds like this) where due to LVM (as opposed to ext4). Then I faced LVM out (needed a new installation), and no more problems with ext4. suomi On 2010-08-08 09:21, Michael Schwendt wrote: > On Sat, 7 Aug 2010 20:29:04 -0700, Marvin wrote: > >> Hi >> >> I am using Fedora 12 now.. >> >> Am planing on going to 13.. >> >> But, am thinking I need to resize my partitions >> >> This is what I currently have. >> >> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on >> /dev/sdb6 27G 4.1G 22G 17% / >> /dev/sdb1 27G 222M 25G 1% /boot >> /dev/sdb2 13G 3.4G 8.4G 29% /home >> /dev/sdb7 27G 172M 25G 1% /home2 >> /dev/sdb3 2.0G 35M 1.8G 2% /opt >> /dev/sdb8 24G 223M 22G 1% /tmp >> >> >> I know I am wasting a lot of my drive.. >> >> I want to dual boot with sabayon 5.3.<just for fun> >> >> So I was thinking: >> For Fedora. >> >> /boot 2G > > Do you really need a separate /boot partition? > > F12 on /dev/sdb6 and F13 on /dev/sdb1 would work. > >> /home 13G >> /usr 6G >> / 6G >> >> for sabayon 5.3 >> >> /boot 2G >> /home 13G >> /usr 6G >> / 6G >> >> I am open to suggestions.. > > Why the separate /usr?
