Partitioning system on a Slackware server

Post Reply New Topic

I'm installing Slackware on my server that will host a Tor hidden services. I won't do any illegal stuff. I will probably use it also for hosting files.

I'm partitioning system at the moment. I want to put LVM on LUKS.

I'm reading https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/secu ... a3.en.html and I've a few questions:

- Should I encrypt boot partition? I want to be sure that kernel is legimitate but I'm not sure whether LILO support that feature.
- Should I separate /tmp, /usr/local, /opt, /var, /var/log and /var/tmp partitions? Which sizes are recommended for root partition and others assuming I have got 55.9 GiB HDD?
- Should I use --use-random or --use-urandom while formatting partition by luksFormat?
