[ubuntu-in] [Ubuntu-in] Linux Partition

[Saaz Rai]

Hi,

When you install Ubuntu and select automatic partitions during installation,
it creates two partitions - swap and / partition. Swap is usually double the
size of RAM in your Computer. The remaining space is formatted as EXT4
Filesystem and is mounted at / partition which contains all the folders
mentioned below.

Another way I prefer is do a manual partition during instillation time. I
manually make a swap partition (double the size of system RAM), / partition
(About 20 GB which will install all the System/Program Files) and a separate
/home partition. A separate home folder partition ensures that my home
folder is not affected in case if anything happens to my my System partition
(/). Also I'm able to reinstall/upgrade a different version keeping my home
partition intact in the future.

Regards,
Saaz Rai
