Ultimate Edition Forum

I've a 2TB hard drive no dual boot. Entire disk for Ultimate Edition.

I'm installing the UE-3.5.2 and am wondering the recommended partition sizes.
In the past I simply split the hard drive giving 1Tb to / (root) and 2Gb to swap and the remaining to /home which is 998Gb

I've noticed that my root partition stays rather empty as my /home slowly fills up.

That being said can someone recomend partition sizes for the following.

Total 2TB for the following partition
/
/home
I'll keep Swap at 2Gb.

With 12GB RAM, you aren't really going to be dependant on Swap so you can stick with the 2 Gb but I generally use 5 "just cause" Heavy users with lots of memory really are going to make space when they are running that low anyways, but you're on the right track...
So personally I would go

Swap-5

Now for / , Ultimate Edition is heavy and you may want to add more, this is a 2 TB drive so why not

/-25

/home-rest

This is how I set up my 1.5 TB and haven't had any issues, actually this might be the one I started using Linux on.
