How to partition a linux system

The method of partitioning the Linux system is: 1. Root partition; 2. Swap partition, the space size is twice the running memory; 3. /boot partition, the space size is 500M; 4. /var Partition, used to store system log information; 5. /usr partition, used to store application software installation information.

Linux system partition recommendation:

(Recommended tutorial: linux tutorial)

/ (root partition)

/boot (storage boot information and kernel information, not too large, 500M can be considered)

/usr (storage system application software installation information, software If there are more, give more space)

/var (storage system log information, the system will have a lot of logs after running for a long time, give it more space)

swap (not /swap)

Necessary partitions under Linux system:

/ (root partition) and swap (swap partition).

What is the swap partition?

The swap partition is equivalent to the concept of virtual memory in the windows system.

How much space is allocated to the swap partition

Storage < 4GB, swap space = storage size * 2

4GB < Storage< 16GB, swap space = storage size

Storage > 16GB, swap space = optional, preferably not 0
