You might keep /home on a separate one, to make reinstallation a little easier if it becomes necessary, but if you're keeping valuable data in /home, you should be backing it up anyway. On a server, there is a risk that /var will suddenly explode in size or just enlarge slowly without being managed properly. This cannot be allowed to choke the system and kill it, so at least /var will have a separate partition. The chance of this happening on a workstation, generally rebooted every day and not running external services, is very small. Also, a workstation will normally have a human sitting at the screen most of the time, and a warning of low disc space can be dealt with. I run several partitions on my main workstation, because I experiment a bit, but my mobile installations are single-partition. The main workstation has LVM installed, so I can resize the partitions if necessary. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
