I've got a new computer with RAM 256 DDR and 21GB of its hard disk
reserved for FreeBSD.
I have no clue about what partitions should I create and what size
should they have since in previous installations I just followed the
3xRAM rule for swap and the rest was under /.
This is going to be an average desktop computer, for playing around,
programming and so forth. After reading the relevant parts of the
Handbook and "The Complete FreeBSD", I've come with this temptative
settings:
/ 200MB
swap 800MB
/var 300MB + SoftUpdates
/usr <rest> + SoftUpdates
and /tmp would be symlinked to /usr/tmp to make sure I do not run out of
space there (is that reason reasonable in fact?). I don't need to be
conservative because I have a lot of room, would you think those are
suitable partitions?
