Currently I have two partitions, root and big. They are both managed by lvm and look like this:
root@weasel:/boot# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/Ubuntu-root
224G 107G 106G 51% /
/dev/mapper/vg00-big 230G 187G 32G 86% /big
It would be much more reasonable to have a small root partition that is easily backed up and separate partitions for /home, /store, and /big.
/store is a shared network-accessible space. /big is used for automatic backups of root, /home, and /store.
/store is 99G, /home is 3.4G, /var is 1.2G, root is 107G, so if I would split them apart, root could be as small as 4G.
It would be handy if the root partition could be kept small enough to be backed up on a DVD.
So the new scheme would have 4 physical volumes:
| Device | Size | Use |
|---|---|---|
| /dev/hda | 250G | root, store, home, var |
| /dev/hdb | 250G | big, network storage |
| /dev/hdc | 500G | root backup |
| /dev/hdd | 500G | big, network backup |
