Partition Size on RH 9 Installation

[Scot Huntsberry]

I am going to reinstall RH 9 tomorrow because my system has gotten so
slow that it is ridiculous.  I was wondering if I could get some
suggestions oh how to best partition a 50gb hard drive to maximize the
efficiency of the system.  I would really appreciate any suggestions the
group could provide.

Thanks,

Scot

That's a lot of space :)  I've created my partitions as follows:

50 mb primary for /boot, 
1 gb  primary partition for swap

the rest primary as a logical Volume

Within that volume:

4 gb for /
20 gb for /home

and several additional file systems for special purposes (e.g. a
separate file system for mysql in my case).

I can easily resize partition as needed, can temporarily add a partition
for testing purposes (e.g. beta severn)
