Not sure that partitions help here. If we are taking personal box/laptop /home is the only thing I care about and it'll have all the disk space as well.

You may be surprised at how much is in /var and /usr.
ext3 metaclustering Posted Jan 18, 2008 15:19 UTC (Fri) by fatrat (subscriber, #1518) [Link] My home dir contains ~82 Gb. Compared to that, /usr and /var don't contain a lot (under 10gb). I'm sure most people are similar, hence my comment.
ext3 metaclustering Posted Jan 18, 2008 15:45 UTC (Fri) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054) [Link] 10GB is still a big important chunk of disk, whether the rest is 20GB or 82GB. Checking it separately *will* speed up each check, and separating it into a separate filesystem will make sure that errors on one part won't mess up the other part. (Come to think of it, I suspect that the fsck speed is more dependent on number of files than data size, though I don't know for sure.)
