I give some example for creation, you should give an appropriate size for /, /var , /usr/local, /opt and

/home

Or if you don’t want separate partition like above, I just want to give the full size for root mount point. It

will consider all the partition as a root mount point not separately.

Note:

Root mount point / 5GB need (May be less,but give this size for root)

/usr partition should need more than 3GB, so select 5GB for /usr
