This machine only had a 198 MB internal disk and would eventually become a diskless client when our new server arrived.
For all types of machines, I have more or less been convinced that you should set your disk up the following way:
| c0t3d0 - disk size | ||
| 0 | / | disk size - swap |
| 1 | swap | Swap size is usually ~2 * memory size |
One benefit of allocating all of the space to one partition is more efficient use of disk space, which also leads to less frequent disk fillups. A negative aspect is when the disk needs to be fsck'd. This could take a long time are really large disks. SGI has been shipping their systems like this and I have seen a lot of sysadmin support for this approach.
