how should i make my new partition table - quannum - 2005-03-07
Hello people,
do you have any suggestion what i need to change for an optimal partition table ?
current partition table:
Disk /dev/hda: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 793 6369741 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 794 859 530145 82 Linux swap
/dev/hda3 860 10011 73513440 83 Linux
hda1 i use for the fedora core 3 system.
hda3 is my swap partition.
hda3 i use for mp3,movie etc.
do you have any suggestion what i need to change for an optimal partition table ?
thank you for reading and replays if..

Generally it is good to have /boot on an own small (like 32M) partition.

I typically do:
/dev/(x)da1 as 100MB /boot
/dev/(x)da2 as swap (between 1x and 2x total system memory)
/dev/(x)da3 extended
/dev/(x)da5 as 8GB-ish / (for just O/S operations)
/dev/(x)da6 as * (whatever is left or however you want to break it down from here)
For machines with less than 512MB RAM, I'll do a minimum of 512MB for swap.
For anything with more that 512MB RAM, I'll do about 1.1x amount .. want to make sure you have a little more than the exact amount of RAM. So for like 1024MB RAM I'd do 1100MB swap.

thanks for those replays, realy appreciated.
with those and some suggestions from some guys on irc i made it like this:
hda1 /boot
hda2 /
hda3 /swap
hda4 /storage
and i used the this command at boot options of the fc3 cd: linux reiserfs
so i could use reiser with fc3. because it take less space and it is faster than ex3, (my opinion)
thanks for your time!

hey that partition table its fine
dont make boot grater than 100MB
and / grater than 10 GB
swap should be 2xactual ram size
and /storage as you wish :)
