Subj : Re: suggestions for new hard drive structure To : comp.os.linux From : Pandora Xero Date : Tue Jul 13 2004 10:52 am ok, i have decided on a final setup. reiser fs will be used on all but /boot and /mnt/windoze (obviously). i'm keeping the swap file at 1 gb on one partition. I rarely have a need for it, but its there at the size i made it "just in case". as far as the "swap file" idea... thats one of the reasons i hate windoze, so i'd say no to that. increased windoze partition to 20, reduced shared partitions to 20 gb each. /boot, swap and /var are on primary partitions, /usr and / are on extended partitions. .
