Hi,
well I have a 120GB drive, splitt into 56GB system, 47GB home, 2GB swap,
15MB /boot and a 'ply around partition' REST.
The /-partition will fit fine on a single 35GB DLT, compression on or of does
not matter, because / is never really full enough for needing more.. That is
why, I just use

Hi,
I guess that means that you either have smaller disks than me, or a
larger tape drive...
But assuming you do regular backups, how do you figure out which
parts of the filesystem need to be scanned if the static stuff isn't
confined to a separate filesystem?
What do you use for your tape back

Hi,
since my whole system (except /home) fits on one tape, the backup argument is
not too convincing for me.
And it does not matter if /usr/lib is on its own part, or part of / - if it is
gone, you have a problem ;)

I agree that trying to size partitions optimally is an annoying
chore, but I gather LVM should help with that problem - though I
havn't tried it yet.
However I disagree about the drive wear argument. Sensible partitioning
can be used to reduce seek time by keeping related data together, and
more i

Hi,
when I go some years back, I alo had a bunch of partitions, but I went away
from it for several reasons:
it is a great waste of space
at least one partition is always too small
a lot moving head will reduce the lifetime of your hharddisk
if a partition fails, it will always the wrong one.

Following on from the recent discussions on grub and booting,
is there a good reason for having a separate partition for /boot,
other than perhaps to overcome BIOS addressing limitations for
people with very large root partitions??
The reason I ask is that I am quite particular about my partitioni
