🗂️ Security-Focused Partition Layout

/dev/sda1 511M /boot/efi (EFI System Partition)

/dev/sda2 974M /boot (Bootloader)

/dev/sda3 8G swap (Swap space)

/dev/sda4 30G / (Root filesystem)

/dev/sda5 49G /home (User data)

/dev/sda6 30G /var (Logs and variables)

/dev/sda7 49G /opt (Additional software)

/dev/sda8 2.0G /tmp (Temporary files)

Security Benefits:

• Isolated /tmp prevents overflow attacks
• Separate /var contains log explosions
• /home isolation protects user data
• /opt dedicated for security tools
