Hi John, I can provide some info from my own experiences. 1. I have just installed a new IBM 30Gb hdisk - to replace the new 30Gb Seagate that lasted only 3 weeks. It seems that the 30Gb Seagate suffers from overheating & vibration problems - it needs a cooling pack. The IBM is just sooooo sweet - it runs up beautifully, and is a lot quieter. This is the way I will go in future. 2. My partition scheme is as follows - in order: a. 1 sector -> /boot b. 512Mb -> swap (answer to point 3.) c. 10Gb -> / d. Remainder -> /home Best regards, Des Aubery... (adTherm Technologies, East London, E.Cape, South Africa) Jon Tillman wrote:
Okay, so the time has come to upgrade my machine, in a major way, and a couple of questions have come up that I would like to get some opinions on.
1) I want to use one big (30G) disk, ATA66 in the machine. What manufacturer(s) would be recommended (Seagate, Quantum, IBM, etc)
2) I am at a loss as far as a partitioning scheme for a drive that big. Does anyone have any thoughts on that?
3) Swap space, how much, located where on the disk? Any thoughts?
