Just my 5 Cents: Hard to say, as you didn't clarify what it is going to be used for. - try to separate system-partitions and non-system-partions by disk (I got this hint from SUN's good old Solaris 9 handbook - and it proved to be right at a dozen times) - /boot and / on two different disks tend to cause all sorts of unexpected trouble. It might be perfectly legal but it's a matter of time until some [kernel|grub|[mk]initramfs] upgrade, faulty hardware, BIOS-whatever, or scrambled partition numbers will mess it up. Even more if SCSI-controllers or multiboot involved. - LVM is actually a good choice - but you should be aware that it also creates another layer of abstraction (say: "trouble") if you have to recover from the unexpected. So you might at least want to avoid spanning LVs over drive borders. - Taking in account that /boot needs to be just some 100MB I would definitely keep it on the same drive as /, /var and if by any chance possible /usr. You still will be able to boot without swap or without /tmp. Without /var or /usr it will be a lot harder. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
