FPBX17 upgrade on Pre-sangoma appliance - partition scheme

FreePBX System Administration
1

I have an older pre-sangoma (schmoozecom?) FreePBX appliance that has happily been upgraded from FreePBX 14->15->16 and I am hoping to get one more upgrade out of it to 17 before I move to virtualized.

It has two spinner HDDs in Raid 1 and the partition scheme is the default it shipped with, /boot, /swap, and /.

However the boot part is a bit small at 315MB and the Debian docs claim just /swap and / are fine for modern computing…

Sooooooo… keep this old partition scheme or change it? (While I’m in their mucking around)

If I have plans to virtualize this appliance in the future, any ramifications to partition schemes I choose now?

I honestly have just accepted defaults on the handful of debian installs I have done so far with 17

Thank you for your response.

Debian has been doing their thing so long I also think the defaults will be fine.

I do still wonder what FreePBX might feel is “best practice” in 2024.

I have an answer for that but it would get flagged off. long story short they exited the distro game for a reason.
