</div>A boot CD is much easier and gives a much richer environment.<br>
<br>
Just having /boot separate is not much help - it only contains the<br>
kernel. You also need the stuff in /bin and /sbin which are of course<br>
under /.<br>
<br>
Seriously, don't bother. There has been no reason for /boot since EIDE<br>
started working reliably with arbitrary-sized disks, i.e., roughly a<br>
decade ago. :¬)<br>

</div>Most apps go into /usr somewhere on their own. It is not a good idea<br>
to override this.<br>
<br>
Only monolithic binaries that do not really understand your distro go<br>
in /opt - it is somewhat historical now, too.<br>
<br>
Anyway, it's not binaries that are the problem normally. On a server,<br>
if they are *very* paranoid, some sysadmins move /var onto a different<br>
filesystem so that there is no chance that a huge log file can fill up<br>
/ - but with terabyte-class disks, this is not much of a threat.<br>

</div>See above.<br>
<br>
Seriously, I suggest that you start your troubleshooting with a much<br>
simpler partitioning scheme. Since a well-specified modern PC should<br>
have lots of RAM, it does not really need swap at all. If you are<br>
really paranoid, you could install "swapspace" which will give you<br>
on-demand swapfiles if they are needed, which normally, they should<br>
not be. It is not compatible with hibernation but that is not an issue<br>
on a server. It has no performance impact on modern kernels.<br>
<br>
Try with just a mirrored / and nothing else and see if it works. Then,<br>
if you are really worried, you can split off /opt - but it should not<br>
be large. Data files, files that are changing regularly, should not be<br>
in /opt, they should be in /var or /home as a rule. If they're in /opt<br>
then I would say there was something wrong with your config.<br>
<br>
I cannot advise regarding "d-i partman-md/" because I am not familiar<br>
with this tool. Sorry.<br>
