I have a 500gb hdd with intent to run only Ubuntu.
/home currently consumes about 400GB of this hdd and i'm using about 80gb of this space.
nobody else uses my computer so there's always only 1 user account for desktop login.
i've been thinking about different methods for partitioning and i'm not sure the best way to implement the optimal partition table.
I want to keep security priority because most of the content of /home is made available to /var/www for apache purposes and about 5gb is private data that isn't intended to share so a /home/user/Private (encrypted) would be it's own partition. while /var/www would be it's own partition as well, it would be large for the bulk of my 80GB of files.
i've never tried using a partition table in this manor before and i'm not sure how it will work out. any insight or suggestions would be much appreciated :)
