Otherwise I'll probably just set it up as 2Gb for /boot, 500 Gb for /home
(thats 4x the 127G its using now and the rest as /, which has actually
worked pretty good for wheezy. Even that may be too complex, so /boot,
16G of /swap and the rest as / would also work. I had thought
saveing /home separately might be a good idea and will likely do that
now that I've surveyed the system with du -h. I'm about to take a 1T
out, and put a 2T in for amanda at the same time, which would put a 1T
available for /opt or even /home, but that drive has 75,000 spinning
hours on it now. Its apparently found an immortality pill, it had 25
re-allocated sectors before I updated its firmware at about 1000 hours,
still does! As vtapes for amanda, its stayed around 85% used for years,
with 25 to 60 GB rewritten every night. Its also backing up my cnc
machines too, 5 total.
Thinking out loud...
And after about 3 more installs, I got it to
work, but in my
calculations for partition size, I forgot theres around 80 GB in
/var, my web pages etc, which was going to be in the / partition, so
40Gb was soon filled up in copying it across. But lots of empty
space left in home, so I fired up gparted to shrink the top of home
and make room for a new /opt partition. But gparted refuses to do
that resize/move. So it looks like another whole new install
tomorrow, except tomorrow will be after a new quick change drive
cage arrives
Some possibilities you could consider are (1) fewer partitions and (2)
LVM.
