Choosing your partitioning scheme and file system tech for each one is a question that comes up every time you install a system. It's sort of related to the File hierarchy and its issues today.

Which layout do you use these days, on which machine and for which reasons? Do you have a Swap partition, do you split home from other partitions, do you have a separate partition for tmp, do you put tmp in ram only, which file system do you use and why? What's your take on all this?
