Recommended partitioning settings
Vaisala recommends the following disk partitioning.
You need the /boot/efi partition if you computer uses the UEFI boot.
| Partition | File system type | Size |
|---|---|---|
| /home | 50 GB | |
| /boot | EXT4 | 500 MB |
| /boot/efi | EXT4 | 600 MB |
| /var | 50 GB | |
| / | EXT4 | 50 GB |
| swap | SWAP | size of RAM + 2 GB |
| /srv | EXT4 | All of of the remaining disk space |
Use the xfs file system for partitioning.
Partition /srv is a data partition.
If there is only a little disk space, you can decrease the size of the /home, /var, and / partitions by 10-20 GB.
