Description Antoine Pitrou 2013-03-18 22:11:38 CET
I'm trying beta3 under VirtualBox, with a 10GB Virtual Disk.

This is the automatic partitioning by the installer:

Sys. de fichiers Taille Utilisé Dispo Uti% Monté sur
rootfs             5,0G    3,1G  1,7G  66% /
devtmpfs           730M       0  730M   0% /dev
tmpfs              734M     96K  734M   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs              734M    320K  734M   1% /run
/dev/sda1          5,0G    3,1G  1,7G  66% /
tmpfs              734M       0  734M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs              734M     20K  734M   1% /tmp
/dev/sda6          4,1G    9,3M  4,1G   1% /home


I think it is suboptimal to create separate / and /home partitions in such a setup. For small drives (< 20 GB), there should be a single / partition.

(also, for some reason a swap partition was created)
