I'm planning to install Debian on my server. I would like to design the partitioning scheme in such a way, that I could install one or more other *nix distributives on that. So, reading many articles I think this scheme could be a good one for the initial idea of multi-boot:
/grub
/swap
/LVM VG1 (for OS1) ->
/boot (LV1)
/ (LV2)
/tmp (LV3)
/var ...
/var/log
/home
/LVM VG2 (for OS2) ->
/boot
/
/tmp
/var
/var/log
/home
... (other distros)
/LVM VG0 (for data) ->
/data (LV1)
But I'm confused a little bit now: what should be the labels for these partitions (unique or not) and what should be the mounting points looking as (/home (OS1) mounted to /home as well as /home (OS2)...)?
