    9292    space to build LFS and most of BLFS, but is small enough so that multiple
    9393    partitions can be easily created for experimentation.</para> </sect3>

    9898    <para>Most distributions automatically create a swap partition.  Generally
    9999    the recommended size of the swap partition is about twice the amount of
     
    101101    hold the swap partition to two gigabytes and monitor the amount of disk
    102102    swapping.</para>

    104104    <para>Swapping is never good.  Generally you can tell if a system is
    105105    swapping by just listening to disk activity and observing how the system
     
    108108    swapping becomes a normal occurrence, the best solution is to purchase more
    109109    RAM for your system.</para> </sect3>

    113    
     113
    114114    <para>There are several other partitions that are not required, but should
    115115    be considered when designing a disk layout.  The following list
    116116    is not comprehensive, but is meant as a guide.</para>

    120120      <listitem><para>/boot &ndash; Highly recommended.  Use this partition to
    121121      store kernels and other booting information.  To minimize potential boot
     
    123123      your first disk drive.  A partition size of 100 megabytes is quite
    124124      adequate.</para></listitem>
    125      
     125
    126126      <listitem><para>/home &ndash; Highly recommended.  Share your home
    127127      directory and user customization across multiple distributions or LFS
    128128      builds.  The size is generally fairly large and depends on available disk
    129129      space.</para></listitem>
    130      
     130
    131131      <listitem><para>/usr &ndash; A separate /usr partition is generally used
    132132      if providing a server for a thin client or diskless workstation.  It is
    133133      normally not needed for LFS.  A size of five gigabytes will handle most
    134134      installations.</para></listitem>
    135      
     135
    136136      <listitem><para>/opt &ndash; This directory is most useful for
    137137      BLFS where multiple installations of large packages like Gnome or KDE can
     
    139139      used, 5 to 10 gigabytes is generally adequate.</para>
    140140      </listitem>
    141      
     141
    142142      <listitem><para>/tmp &ndash; A separate /tmp directory is rare, but
    143143      useful if configuring a thin client.  This partition, if used, will
    144144      usually not need to exceed a couple of gigabytes.</para></listitem>
    145      
     145
    146146      <listitem><para>/usr/src &ndash; This partition is very
    147147      useful for providing a location to store BLFS source files and
     
    149149      for building BLFS packages.  A reasonably large partition of 30-50
    150150      gigabytes allows plenty of room.</para></listitem>

    154154    <para>Any separate partition that you want automatically mounted upon boot
    155155    needs to be specified in the <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>.  Details
    156156    about how to specify partitions will be discussed in <xref
    157157    linkend="ch-bootable-fstab"/>.  </para>
