What's your recommendation on drive partitioning schemes for a desktop and home server?






This thread is a continuation of my failed attempt to install ubuntu on a new pc. Ive decided to reinstall ubuntu by using a simpler partitioning scheme. The one i made had four partitions (/,/boot,/home and swap) and after the booting i got the error i describe in the hyperlink above.



Ultimately which is the most standard partitioning scheme for a simple home user who does not need to install something else in this particular hard drive(320 GB ) ??? Please be specific regarding the type of partitions needed (size,type,primary or logical etc)

two primary partitions as follows:



1) main, including root, boot and home
most of the disk used except the space for the swap in (2)
ext4
this should be set as bootable and root



2) swap partition
i've used double the amount of ram for my machine (eg 4GB RAM, swap size 8GB)
linux swap
set to swap



Hope that helps
