I just install 4 partitions as you may see from /etc/fstab:
[root at casablanca ~]# cat /etc/fstab

I was not too certain, wheather /boot can be mounted on ext4 with F13,
so instead of investigating very far, I created a separate partition
with ext3.
I loop-mount /home into /data so that erverything which may become large
and larger is in /data. I also link mysql, named, and ldap from /var/lib
into /data.
The partition sizes are as follows:
[root at casablanca ~]# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 12095032 5612516 5868116 49% /
tmpfs 1964368 240 1964128 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 198337 41380 146717 22% /boot
/dev/sda5 462972776 47677060 391778020 11% /data
[root at casablanca ~]#
NOTE: do not use LVM with F13 and ext4. It took me quite a while to find
out, that the "errors" I had on ext4 like:
Jul 17 14:10:35 casablanca kernel: EXT4-fs error (device dm-0):
ext4_mb_generate_buddy: EXT4-fs: group 80: 25516 blocks in bitmap, 25515
in gd
... (hundreds like this)
where due to LVM (as opposed to ext4). Then I faced LVM out (needed a
new installation), and no more problems with ext4.
