Do you allocate all disk space to logical volumes during installation?

Hello list,

It is often hard to know how much space is needed for
different mount points. Increasing the size of a filesystem is commonly
described as a safer operation than reducing the size. Do you think
saving space (not absolutely needed) for later is a good idea / common practice?

It will probably cause a bit more filsystem resize (increase) operations but
flexibility will be gained and symlinking / non standard placement
of files may be avoided. A bit free space in the volume-group also gives space
to lvm-snapshots if desired.

Best regards,

Erling Ringen Elvsrud
