Hi,

 

I intend to adopt the following disk partition strategy for my dual-OS system.

 

 I'll go NTFS and FAT32 for Windows. As for Linux, is there any reason to choose  Reiser over ext2/3?  My XP is currently NTFS. The FAT32 will be the intermediary. Eventhough kernet 2.6+ allows writing to NTFS, I think it is risky. 'explore2fs' will come in handy to access Linux files from XP.

 

I have a single 40G drive. I am using 30G for WinXP with NTFS. The remainder will be 2G for FAT32, 8G for Linux.

 

For Linux partition, I am thinking of sub-partitions  /, /usr and swap. The swap space will be double the amount of main mem. How much for / and /usr?

 

Suggestions welcomed.

 

Cheers

 

Ken
