I have this on mine: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
/ |
| 25 |
/boot |
| 26 |
/home |
| 27 |
/usr.portage |
| 28 |
/var |
| 29 |
/var/tmp/portage on tmpfs. Nice to have 16Gbs of ram. :-) |

Here is one thing to think about on LVM. If you put /usr on a separate |
| 41 |
partition, you will need the init thingy, thanks to the dev at fedora. |
| 42 |
Yea, lower case f just like lower case w for winders. Don't make me |
| 43 |
spell it the way I want. There is a lady on this list. o_O Anyway, if |
| 44 |
you are going to do /usr on a separate partition then you may as well |
| 45 |
have LVM. You are going to have the init thingy anyway. You may as |
| 46 |
well give the whole bit a try. |
| 47 |

| 48 |
LVM has not really been a problem other than me trying to get my |
| 49 |
sequence and commands straight. If I was going to install again, I |
| 50 |
would likely have it all on LVM except / and /boot. After all, this is |
| 51 |
sort of the way fedora does it which is what started the init thingy, in |
| 52 |
my opinion anyway. I think a Gentoo dev, a really big one, needs to |
| 53 |
poke the fedora dev in the eye, right one since most are right eye |
| 54 |
dominant. Might make his keyboard look funny for a while. :/ |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
The init thingy, I have tried making one and booting it. It fails each |
| 57 |
and every time. I fix one thing, something else breaks. Google finds |
| 58 |
the same problems but no fixes. I can't seem to find a howto that works |
| 59 |
for me, including the Gentoo wiki one. Dang fedora ! |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
So, LVM, works fine just have to learn it. The init thing, sucks !! |
| 62 |

| 63 |
I think the partitioning scheme varies on what you are doing with your |
| 64 |
box tho. For home use, /boot, /, /home and maybe /var. You can do |
| 65 |
/usr/portage if fragmentation bothers you. I have a /data thing that I |
| 66 |
started waaaaay back when I was new on Linux and using Mandrake. I |
| 67 |
really need to move that stuff to my /home directory. I was a bit green |
| 68 |
at the time. lol I put my TV shows, .iso files and other junk on |
| 69 |
there. That is on LVM since it seems to grow. |

Oh, here is a funny one. Imagine walking up to the computer and seeing |
| 72 |
knotify taking up 14Gbs of ram. O_O My rig was using all the ram, some |
| 73 |
cache and slow as leap year. I kill -9'd that thing. Grrrr!! |
