Linux Partitioning Scheme

  • Unless you have a reason for doing otherwise, it is recommended that you create the following partitions:
  • /boot partition – contains kernel images  and grub configuration and commands
  • / partition
  • /var partition
  • /home partition
  • Any other partition based on application (e.g /usr/local for squid)
  • swap partition — swap partitions are used to support virtual memory. In other words, data is written to a swap partition when there is not enough RAM to store the data your system is processing. The size of your swap partition should be equal to twice your computer's RAM
