You don't need 1 TB for the SSD ! Mine is 240 GB , which is plenty. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Here are my partitions : |

GB |

SSD sda 1 boot 1 /boot |

| 59 |
|
| 60 |
All fmt'd Reiser, except sda1 ext2 , sda3 swap , sdb3/5 ext4 |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
'vault' is where I move stuff I'm not using at the moment : |
| 63 |
work I've finished, downloaded material I haven't got to yet. |
| 64 |
'z' is a big hangar where I throw big files around, back-ups etc ; |
| 65 |
it also contains a tmp dir for emerging LO + FF . |
| 66 |
'data' is some extra material I don't use often. |
| 67 |
'y' is for back-ups & is not normally mounted. |
| 68 |
Mint helped when installing Gentoo, Mageia is sentimental : |
| 69 |
both mb useful to show friends who ask re Linux. |
| 70 |
All the sizes are really overkill for what I actually use. |
