[ale] Large IDE hard drives

[Glenn C. Lasher Jr.]

Generally, regardless of the drive size, I will partition it heavily.  For
example:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1               101089     37876     57994  40% /
/dev/hda10            10091926   4949513   4618696  52% /aux1
/dev/hda5              1146352    435760    652360  40% /home
/dev/hda7               202220        35    191745   0% /tmp
/dev/hda6              1011928    807128    153396  84% /usr
/dev/hda9               101089     13597     82273  14% /var

This is a Western Digital 13.5G (really a 12G before marketing) drive.
