A root fs needing >300Mb of disk space still makes no sense to me.
If you're going to play silly games with tiny filesystems, make sure
things like /var(/cache) are suitably big enough ...
First, I agree, it is silly; 300M is 0.1% of the disk space. But I'm an
old fart and old habits die hard. And new tricks take time to learn. I
like to have real honest-to-god partitions that I know how to deal with,
and not put all the eggs in some LVM black basket that I can't
troubleshoot. Yes, I know it's silly.
Second, I do know enough to deal with /var/cache -- that's one reason
/var is on a separate partition. My / fs is pushing 300G with no package
downloads. The killers are /etc (?!?) and /lib.
It really would be nice if the "Custom filesystem layout" screens in
Anaconda had some rough size recommendations for us old farts who prefer
a "traditional" disk layout.

Sorry, that's 360M used out of 400M I partitioned (388M usable).
