Is the space set up during partitioning smart/correct
by zl3jbb from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KCDT)
Trying to learn the basics still and after figuring out how to start from scratch by partitioning my drive, now wondering if I did it correctly with space allocated, tagging partitions and so forth. Kicking around learning a bit of command line lingo I discovered df, and it's presented me with this.
It now has me questioning the space I allocated and after an opinion as to whether I made a smart move or a daft one when setting up? My /home drive is half used, does this mean I only have 8G odd for space with potential users created? If I create several users and each used a few gig of "personal" files saved, am I going to run in to trouble... Should I have setup the /home with the space / has for example? Or is it a case that generally users will save things directly under / and space is not an issue.
