We are planning a migration from our CentOS 7 server to a fresh install of RHEL9. Similar to the questions asked here

What I'm wondering is using Standard partitions, LVM, or LVM thin Provision? (this is a VM).

As far as the partitions, it sounds like most of the space should be in / (root). What other partitions are needed?

File System to use?

Want to get this right from the start.

Here is my suggestion for you for partitions and sizes:

/boot 500 MB

/ (root) the rest of your partition.

As for which partitioning system to use, Take a look here: https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/lvm-vs-partitioning to help your self make a better informed decision.

And for your question on File systems, Red Hat uses XFS by default. Depending on your setup you may also want to look at ext4 or NFS. I have to links here for helping you to understand and make a more informed decision.
The first link goes into a upper Level review on each file system supported: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentatio ... le-systems
The second link is a bit more of a deep dive into XFS file system: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentatio ... ide/ch-xfs
