comment How to partition 22TB disk?
@bdowning: xfs_check does indeed use a lot of memory, but the manual page(8) mentions: "Note that using xfs_check is NOT recommended. Please use xfs_repair -n instead, for better scalability and speed.".

comment What are the main differences between those linux distro vs general daily linux we use?
The eCos web page says that "eCos is not related to the Linux operating system", so comparing it with Linux distributions is like comparing Windows CE with Fedora.

comment Any alternative of “man -a” on UNIX?
What Unix are you exactly using: Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, *BSD? Also what does it mean "doesn't work": the -a option isn't recognized and man doesn't show anything or man shows only the first page? One more thing: could you give examples of <xyz> just to be sure that there are multiple sections on that subject?

comment What's the best way to partition your drive?
Even if you use LVM, you still have to decide what logical volumes (LVs) to create. As a side note I still remember the disappointment I had last year when I discovered that the desktop Ubuntu installer didn't have support for LVM.

I think you should just write swap instead of /swp in order to prevent any confusions as others have already mentioned.

comment Is it good to make a separate partition for /boot?
Regarding the size, "for Fedora 13 the default /boot partition size was increased to 500 MiB to avoid these problems in the future". (from fedoraproject.org/wiki/…)

comment Is it good to make a separate partition for /boot?
Another good reason was that GRUB didn't support ext4, only ext3, so if you wanted to use ext4 for / you had to have a separate /boot partition.

comment What does the -f parameter do in the tar command
> If you oppress the -f parameter, output is passed to stdout. This is true with GNU tar, but I remember that on Solaris the default was a tape device (/dev/rmt0 or something like this).

comment Heavy write activity on SSD nukes system performance
Maybe you should also mention what SSD are you using. Not all SSDs are equal.
