Appendix D. An Introduction to Disk Partitions 81
Keeping this in mind, we recommend that, unless you have a reason for doing otherwise, you should at
least create the following partitions: swap, /boot/ (or a /boot/efi/ partition for Itanium systems),
a /var/ partition for Itanium systems, and / (root).
For more information, refer to Section 4.16.4 Recommended Partitioning Scheme.
