I would say 20GB on / and all the rest on ~/home, no matter what the real size is. With you it is 60GB, for me it would be 130GB.
Nice algorithm. Especially for a 20 GB Laptop, where 5 GB are reserved for other OS's.
There will be indeed situation where a seperate /home will not be practical. This does not mean you should take away the good practice for those situations where it IS good common practice.
I also could see a situation where you can select if you want a seperate /home or not (with yes being the default) and a slidebar with a real number selector next to it to say how large you want it to have.
The algoruthm could be something else. What is your proposal for a algoritm? 2/3rd of the available space with a minimal of X GB and maximal Y GB for /home and minimal X GB for /home.
Again, I understand that the situation will not be ideal for everyone. It will be (in my opinion) still be better then what we have now.
Well In general a user that is more advanced will choose to create a custom partition setup anyhow. For special scenarios a few clicks can help the advanced admin. The normal user would appreciate our help here. I added this simple logic to control.xml. But at the moment it seems to ignore it and still automatically suggest the swap + / scheme. I used the docs from http://www.novell.com/documentation/nld/index.html?page=/documentation/nld/n... Maybe someone on here has a clue why that is and can suggest what I should do? My current control.xml is on ftp://opensuse.linux.co.nz/pub/SUPER/files/control.xml <partitioning> <partitions config:type="list"> <partition> <disk config:type="integer">0</disk> <fstopt>defaults</fstopt> <fsys>reiser</fsys> <increasable config:type="boolean">false</increasable> <mount>/boot</mount> <pct config:type="integer">100</pct> <size>200mb</size> </partition> <partition> <disk config:type="integer">2</disk> <mount>swap</mount> <size>auto</size> </partition> <partition> <disk config:type="integer">1</disk> <fstopt>defaults</fstopt> <fsys>reiser</fsys> <increasable config:type="boolean">true</increasable> <mount>/</mount> <size>2gb</size> </partition> </partitions> Regards, Andreas openSUSE is SUPER: To help in the SUSE Performance Enhanced Release project visit http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/SUPER
