I used to use something like this for a long time as well, |
| 10 |
but I think it was Neil from this list, who made me think |
| 11 |
about that - what's the use of /boot here? Why a seperate |
| 12 |
/boot partition? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Anyway, I now stopped using a seperate /boot and "integrated" |
| 15 |
it with /, so that I only need to have this: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
[hs]da1: /, 512m, ext3, reiserfs or maybe xfs |
| 18 |
[hs]da2: swap, size as needed |
| 19 |
[hs]da3: LVM |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I don't have swap on LVM, as I'd like to do suspend-to-disk, |
| 22 |
which is easier to do with an old-style partition. And I |
| 23 |
also don't resize my swap partition. But if I'd need *additional* |
| 24 |
swap, I'd create that as a LV on LVM - it's just the "primary" |
| 25 |
SWAP, which I like to keep off-LVM. |
