Hi,
I have the following set-up:
SSD 64GB
HDD1 1TB
HDD2 3TB
Ram 16GB
I've decided to use GPT for all along with UEFI and dual boot Windows 7 64 bit on the HDD.
Since i want Linux as my main system i've was thinking of the following split:
#ssd
/boot 300-500 mb
/ 20GB
/var 15GB #not sure if it's the right place for var but i think the SSD will survive
/home rest of the ssd
#Probably Ext4 for all tho i don't why some choose ext3 for boot, do i need a COW FS?
#No need for swap as far as i can see
#Not sure but do i need to have /usr in a separate partition?
#hdd1
C:\ NTFS 200-300GB
D:\ (/data on linux) NTFS rest of the HDD to be shared as Downloads etc.
#hdd2
Backup Drive - Weekly backup of /Home
I'm also considering pushing /tmp /var/spool /var/tmp and /var/log to Ram(tmpfs).
Since i'm still new at this what do think? I'm planning to run a few vm's and is mainly for personal\code development machine..
Thanks.
