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.
