Here a summary of the answers :
/root : A good range for root seems to be 96MB up to 128 MB
/usr : the short answer : the rest of the disk (minus swap)
in more detail : between 500 MB und 1000MB
there was also the suggestion to make an own partition for /usr/local
(what I did because this one increases on our machines with a lot of
applications)
by the way :
/swap : should be three or fourtimes the memory size. It depends on the
applications you want to run.
In our case it's 350MB (with a memory size of 64 MB) because we
have a lot of large quantum chemistry calculations
Thanks for all who answered
Until the next question.
