Recommendations
- Use LVM
- Depending on your threat model, configure encrypted volumes.
- If you plan to install many programs not part of the your distribution create a separate
/usr/local
partition. - You can put
/tmp
on its own partition with 20–100 MB. - For multi-user systems or systems with lots of disk space you can put
/usr
,/var
,/tmp
, and/home
each on their own partitions separate from the/
partition. For very complex server systems see the Multi Disk HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Multi-Disk-HOWTO.html - If you are setting up a server with lots of user accounts, create a separate large
/home
partition. - If your machine will be a mail server, you can make
/var/mail
a separate partition.
