Partition setting: "Typical usage"

sulekha:-


whenever i install ubuntu using alternate install CD I will encounter this screen, can anybody explain the significance of the setting "Typical usage" ??

salasi:-

My interpretation (that is: guess) was that this would allow you specify other types of usage, such as the 'lots of small files' type of usage you might see with squid or an e-mail directory, vs the 'few big files' you might see with a media server so that it could adjust the number of inodes appropriately (or, just possibly, the use of write barriers, but that seems less likely).

Now as this is a complete guess, and I'm certainly prepared to be proved wrong (and learn from that): to that end, can you have a look at what other options there are other than 'typical usage', because then we should be able to be definitive about what this is about, please?


sulekha:-
it is something similar to what you have said. I tried a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 using alternate cd to find out this
