If you dont know in advance how your storage is allocated the best way, use lvm. The space you dont need today is in the pool and be it /var/www/html or swap or whatever assign it as needed in the future.
Note that its maybe better to not put /boot into lvm.
I agree - I'd never boot /boot into lvm. If there's some problem, and I've seen them, it may not have the lvm driver loaded, and then you're hosed. <snip>
OK, I have done this, I need to create mount points and I am not sure how to initially size.
How does everyone size /?
Take a clue from the default partition layout that install wants to use. Remember, in / will be *all* of your o/s, and third party software, and updates.... And /var, unless that's a separate partition, with all your logs, which can sometimes get *very* big. If you've got the space, give it 100G or 200G. <snip> I like /usr as a partition, and I used to like /var as one.
