Full Discussion: Partitions necessary in RHEL 6
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Partitions necessary in RHEL 6 Post 302772543 by theboogymaster on Tuesday 26th of February 2013 02:51:01 AM

Hello,

You always need the / + swap + boot partitions. The difference may be between your rhel 5 and 6 is that the filesystems like /var, /tmp, /usr are on separate partitions.

If you partition with / + /boot + swap, you also have /var, /tmp, /usr but they reside in the / partition.

Don't know if I am explaining this right.

all-swaps

all-swaps(7)						 Miscellaneous Information Manual					      all-swaps(7)

NAME

       all-swaps - event signalling that all swap partitions have been activated

SYNOPSIS

       all-swaps [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  all-swaps  event  is  generated  by the mountall(8) daemon after it has activated all swap partitions listed in fstab(5).  mountall(8)
       emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other  activ-
       ity.

       When this event occurs, common filesystems such as /usr may not be mounted.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once swap partitions are activated might use:

	      start on all-swaps

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) local-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) filesystem(7)
