14 Everytime I read some guide on LVM, my eyes becomes blurry, the room

21 Aaaanyways, after reviewing my production boxes, I decided to

23
24 / == 800 MiB
25 /boot == 20 MiB
26 /usr == 1800 MiB
27 /usr/portage == 2000 MiB
28 /var == 4000 MiB
29 /var/lib/postgresql == 1000 MiB

31 Comments, suggestions, are welcome :)
