Hello, insightful users! I finally got a new desktop system for my home office, so I get to tinker with a completely fresh install. My query is how to best divide the storage. I will be installing the system on SSD, and I tentatively decided to put swap, /home, /var, and /tmp directories on a separate, conventional hard drive on the assumption that this is where most of the rapidly changing data (and most of the disk writes) would be. I put swap in it's own partition, sized by the old two-times-RAM (24GB, in my case -- woohoo!) rule of thumb. Not even sure if that rule still applies. The rest of the 2TB spindle is configured LVM, and in that reside the /home, /tmp, and /var directories. In my ignorance, I guessed 50GB for /var and 100GB for /tmp, and the rest for /home. (I do a lot of audio and video work, so I figured /tmp might be used heavily.) Does that arrangement sound sensible? Does anybody have a contrary opinion about how it should be divided? Or better: is there a way to make the division between /home, /tmp, and /var more fluid? -Alan -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
