[TriLUG] disk partitioning

Not really,

If you have an older 7200 rpm (assuming IDE here of course) throw it on 
your second IDE chain, then you can move /SWAP to there and that will 
improve your speed.

If not by more RAM :-))

Prevent caching to the disk all together.

Otherwise more or less partitions wont provide a noticeable diff in my 
opinion.

Hi,
 
I just installed RH8, using a new 120G hd.  I accepted the default 
partitioning scheme, which basically just uses /boot, /, and swap.  "/" 
has the bulk of the space.  I was wondering if there is a shift in 
philosophy in using less partitions than before as I remember RH 
recommending more partitions in older versions.  Will the one big 
partition be slower?
 
Thanks,
 
Morris
