Re: Size of /boot partition

I use 128Mb for boot and use less the 10% of it...  I guess you would need bigger if you were going to play around with kernels.

I've been using Ext2 and 32 MB for /boot ever since and I doubt that's going to change for at least another five years.

I've got 128MB on a RAID1 mirror set. I think 30MB is used..
