sdb1 /srv, /opt, etc...<br>

I put all data directories under /srv (apache, tomcat, ftp, MySQL, MariaDB, etc...), and anything built from source goes under /opt, instead of /usr/local<br>
<br>
Btrfs throws all of this out the Window, though.<br>
<br>
If I do LVM, I still do /dev/sda1 as /boot<br>
Then, make the rest of the disk a physical volume, and create logical volumes inside for swap, /, etc...<br>

Subject: [ale] VM guest partitioning practices<br>
<div><div class="h5"><br>
I've been asked to research how others layout their filesystems in virtual machines. I long ago decided it wasn't worth splitting stuff like /var off onto its own partition. I particularly don't think it's necessary in a virtual machine. But I need to get some other opinions before I can be validated in mine.<br>
<br>
So, how do you guys partition the filesystems in your virtual machines?<br>
