- <title>Deciding on &debian; Partitions and Sizes</title>

-At a bare minimum, GNU/&arch-kernel; needs one partition for itself.  You can
-have a single partition containing the entire operating system,
-applications, and your personal files. Most people feel that a
-separate swap partition is also a necessity, although it's not
-strictly true.  <quote>Swap</quote> is scratch space for an operating system,
-which allows the system to use disk storage as <quote>virtual
-memory</quote>. By putting swap on a separate partition, &arch-kernel; can make much
-more efficient use of it.  It is possible to force &arch-kernel; to use a
-regular file as swap, but it is not recommended.

-Most people choose to give GNU/&arch-kernel; more than the minimum number of
-partitions, however.  There are two reasons you might want to break up
-the file system into a number of smaller partitions. The first is for
-safety.  If something happens to corrupt the file system, generally
-only one partition is affected. Thus, you only have to replace (from
-the backups you've been carefully keeping) a portion of your
-system. At a bare minimum, you should consider creating what is
-commonly called a <quote>root partition</quote>. This contains the most essential
-components of the system. If any other partitions get corrupted, you
-can still boot into GNU/&arch-kernel; to fix the system. This can save you the
-trouble of having to reinstall the system from scratch.

-The second reason is generally more important in a business setting,
-but it really depends on your use of the machine. For example, a mail
-server getting spammed with e-mail can easily fill a partition. If you
-made <filename>/var/mail</filename> a separate partition on the mail
-server, most of the system will remain working even if you get spammed.

-The only real drawback to using more partitions is that it is often
-difficult to know in advance what your needs will be. If you make a
-partition too small then you will either have to reinstall the system
-or you will be constantly moving things around to make room in the
-undersized partition. On the other hand, if you make the partition too
-big, you will be wasting space that could be used elsewhere. Disk
-space is cheap nowadays, but why throw your money away?
