How did you partition your disk before installing Linux? Do you regret how you set it up?

I’m looking for some real users experiences about this and I’m trying to find the best approach for my setup.

Thank you for sharing!

    I setup a media PC with an SSD for boot / OS and spinning rust for the videos, music, etc.

    So, I thought LVM would be a good idea… put the whole lot into a logical pool and then carve out large parts for the media which could be adjusted in the future.

    No.

    Resizing actually just chops up the drives even more (so, partition fragmentation)

    Gparted can’t see it, so adjustments are terrible CLI commands

    And my favourite system backup tool (clonezilla) cant backup the OS without backing up the entire system.
