@urusan My usual breakdown, starts with the usual LSB top-level folders:root(swap)tmpvarusrhomeand then...project (professional original work, with a special backup scheme)work (scratch drive, but without getting erased on reboot, unlike tmp)video (like it says)masters (like video, but original renders and high profile PNG streams).snapshot (rsnapshot "local way-back" mirror, with periodic backups -- or at least, that's what it's for).This is on a workstation.

@urusan a single zfs partition :)Jokes aside, I do have /home as its own dataset (basically a partition in zfs-land) separate to /. But it's kind of annoying for backups since now you need to do your backup procedure twice for / and /home.I also have a dataset that's empty but reserves a few GB in case I need some margin if my disk fills up.

@urusan (Answered Other: I just do root and /var, because these servers normally don’t have human users needing stuff on /home, and /tmp is often already a tmpfs.)

@urusan I voted “the traditional” because I have no memory(^_^)~(01:32|0|ruri)~>~> mount -t ext4/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)/dev/sda2 on /usr/share type ext4 (rw,relatime)/dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime)I usually make a ´/var+tmp´ partition with ´/var´ and ´/tmp´ as links to directories there. This time I forgot because, I don’t know if I have ever told you this, but I have no memory.

@urusan btw, for those who read this. What are some good resources on learning proper partition management?

@urusan one partition taking up the whole disk with btrfs and everything as subvolumes (/home, /opt, /data etc.). Each installed distro goes into it's own subvolume too.this way, I get the whole disk space available distributed and I can use it wherever more space is needed. And snapshots too

@urusan For personal use case I actually put the following on separate drives. The first two can be on the same nvme/ssd though://swap/home/backup

@urusanOne hdd with btrfs, unpartitioned to decrease overhead. One ssd with traditional partition scheme. Directories on hdd symlinked to /home/docs and such on ssd.

@urusan /, /home and /boot/efi at main SSD to have faster execution. Swap somewhere else. Actually I have 2 extra HDD, so I have my 2 SWAPs there (3G on each HDD) and the rest of HDD with a stripe partition for data that doesn't need fast access (but since it's two partitions, why not a stripe to be a little faster?).
