Example #1: Simple partitioning
Partition
Mount Point Size (MB)
/dev/hda1 /
1000
/dev/hda2 swap
100
Notice that this example doesn't use all of the available disk. There is still some
900 MB of space left on the disk that can be used to create more partitions
at a later time. The swap partition should be adequate to almost any system
needs, and the root file system is large enough to accommodate a reasonable
installation and still leave room for some user created data files.
Example #2: Complex partitioning
Partition
Mount Point Size (MB)
/dev/hda1 /boot
16
/dev/hda2 swap
100
/dev/hda3 /
300
/dev/hda5 /home
200
/dev/hda6 /tmp
300
/dev/hda7 /usr
500
/dev/hda8 /usr/local
200
Using a /boot partition keeps the kernel images stored there within the sector
requirements for LILO, and gives one partition that can be booted which can
then mount some other partition as root. Under the given situation that
is /dev/hda3, but there is still room on this drive for another partition and
potentially another root file system. The kernel for that alternate system
would also reside on the /boot partition and be configured with LILO to use the
alternate root file system. /home, /tmp, /usr, and /usr/local are on separate
partitions so that their growth can be controlled.
