I was wondering if anyone has any insights for a good partitioning scheme for a multipurpose WWW, Mail and Database server. I'm a little usure about the sizing of /usr and /var, and if there is an advantage of creating additional partitions from the ones recommended in the handbook. I don't want find myself running out of space in any of the partitions, and I don't want to create a symbolic link hell. Would it be a good idea to make a large /var and put WWW, DB, Mail, FTP etc in there and leave /usr for binarys, ports, configuration etc? Here is how I plan to partion my 18GB drive: / = 100MB SWAP = 1GB (what if you have 4GB of RAM? 8GB of swap is insane) /usr = 2GB /var = 13GB - Data, WWW, Logs, FTP and Mail go here This way I can move /var to additional drives/RAID as storage requirements increase. Any comments in terms of performance and future growth considerations? Thanks _________________________________ Scott Gerhardt, P.Geo.
