That's fine, if you intend to split out all those partitions like that. I
would have to guess that most folks don't do that. For example, I split
out swap and /home, but nothing else, and therefore my / partition would
have to be quite large (to accommodate /var, /usr, /opt, etc, etc.). My
answer to the OP was intended for him to correct his problem, as he
clearly doesn't seperate all those partitions.
