The Debian Partitioning wiki is badly out of date - Could you make a contribution here by email, or on the wiki?
Also, the Installation Guide, is behind the times: 6.3.3. Partitioning and Mount Point Selection http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch06s03.html.en#di-partition == References: http://wiki.debian.org/DiskPartitioning http://wiki.debian.org/Partition http://wiki.debian.org/SoftwareRAID http://wiki.debian.org/HardDisk Your search query "ssd" didn't return any results. SSD - This page does not exist yet. LogicalVolumeManagement - This page does not exist yet. RAID - This page does not exist yet extended partitions, logical partitions UDM? = uniform device managemant, naming. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/index.html Revision History Revision 3.5 26 Dec 2005 ========== ===== Base case design: Modern desktop system Lets start with a modern desktop system: 4 or 6 core Intel or AMD. The motherboard likely has some hardware RAID capability. Lets say we start with half the RAM slots filled = 2x4GB = 8GB, and 1 hard disk (HD) = 2TB. We want to partition with: Swap - 32GB = 2x max RAM OS 1 - primary, "Debian Stable" /home OS2 - testing. "Debian Testing" extended partition? Logical volumes LVM? ?? We will later want to add more OS partitions, virtualization, and more HDs, RAM & SSD, as time and money permits. We want a file system that can grow with minimum human maintaince & administration effort as we add HDs. The file system should permit easy file system table integrity checking, while the system is in operation. There should be a good backup solution specified, using an easy to use GUI tool. The backup should be to a different disk drive (perhaps on a different computer), or perhaps an inexpensive ($100-200) removable tape system. Perhaps something backing up on to DVD, for smaller sets of data - text files, etc. We should keep in mind current & future planned Ubuntu disk partition management technology, if that isn't yet backported to Debian, to enable switching to better methods, procedures & sw as those become available in Debian. But, we should focus on what is available right now in: Stable, & Testing. == That is all the time I have to give to this email. Also important are the concepts below, which would be crucial to include in the wiki. : == Adding SSD == Adding Hard Disk 2 == Adding Hard Disk 3+ == What are your guides/suggestions?
