1 / partition of 2-3GB
1 /data for recordings and other data
No swap, enough memory <= 1GB, swap is only needed for misbehaving 
applications.
All partitions XFS with allocsize=1024M as option to avoid 
fragmentation, and/or is defragged very fast with xfs_fsr.

Using more partitions, they will be too large or too small, causes waste 
or trouble.
