Yep, and even swap can be a logical volume. So here is an example partition |
| 13 |
layout: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
[hs]da1: /boot,64M,ext2 (a little bit larger than needed, 32M would also be |
| 16 |
sufficient.) |
| 17 |
[hs]da2: /,256M,choose whatever fs you prefer |
| 18 |
[hs]da3: LVM,everything else |
| 19 |
|

Make sure to create LVs for at least /opt, /var, /usr. Regarding /home, I |
| 21 |
prefer one LV per user, mounted via automounter. I also add three more LVs |
| 22 |
for the Gentoo related stuff, also mounted via automounter: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
/gentoo/overlays (portage tree and other overlays, ~1G) |
| 25 |
/gentoo/distfiles (~2G) |
| 26 |
/gentoo/build (size depends, mine is currently ~5G to satisfy openoffice |
| 27 |
builds). |
| 28 |

HTH... |
