Partizioni
We recommend that you create the following partitions for x86, AMD64, and Intel 64 systems:
- swap partition
- /boot partition
- / partition
- home partition
Swap partitions support virtual memory: data is written to a swap partition when there is not enough RAM to store the data your system is processing.
| Amount of RAM in the system | Recommended swap space | Recommended swap space if allowing for hibernation |
| <= 2GB | 2 times the amount of RAM | 3 times the amount of RAM |
| > 2GB - 8GB | Equal to the amount of RAM | 2 times the amount of RAM |
| > 8GB - 64GB | At least 4 GB | 1.5 times the amount of RAM |
| > 64GB | At least 4 GB | Hibernation not recommended |
The partition mounted on /boot/ contains the operating system kernel
A root partition - this is where "/" (the root directory) is located. In this setup, all files (except those stored in /boot) are on the root partition
A home partition :to store user data separately from system data, create a dedicated partition within a volume group for the /home directory. This will enable you to upgrade or reinstall without erasing user data files.
