so if i understood right i have to go with /boot and a stripped / on normal
disks, with / duplicated to avoid loss of startup.
on root i should put /lib32 /lib64 /etc /bin /sbin /root /dev /usr (excluded
/usr/src and /usr/local and /usr/portage) /var (i should exclude /var/tmp
which contains a lot of stuff due to ccache dir configured there and
/var/paludis since there i have the additional repos) then  on the lvm
volume i should insert everything else. am i right? i wonder what happens to
/proc and /sys since they are loaded through fstab and on how much space i
should have. do 5gb do the trick?
i don't use suspend to disk since the last time i've tried it didn't worked
with my notebook and the only suspend i can use is suspend to ram so i don't
really need swap. i use it only when i compile some large stuff as kdelibs
and similar since my 860+mb of ram do not fill in everyday use.
so the only think to do is find a good backup utility that is able to make a
copy of the entire system. if i copy the system by hand from a live-cd would
that work? if so, what should i avoid to copy?
