Hi!
I'm setting up a jailed server. I'm hoping to eventually use
sysutils/ezjail to deaden the pain a bit!
First step, have to get the disks partitioned! They're unpacked, at least ;-)
I've read lots of comments like,
"You should never setup your FreeBSD systems the way Linux or other
*nix's set them up."
So, I'm looking for some Wisdom on how best to partition for the usage
I'm planning.
The server's goal state is 4 jails, plus the non-jailed host:
jail-1: DNS services {Bind9 & RBLDNSD}
jail-2: WebServer {Apache 22x + PHP5 + Perl 588 + MySQL 50x}
jail-3: mail server {Exim 468 + Spamassassin + ClamAV, etc.}
jail-4: an analysis/monitoring toolkit {Snort, Nagios, Nessus, etc.}
I've got two identical 250 GB SATA2 drives available for this box.
Although I have not yet grokked the whole "What's in a jail's dirs?"
issue, my initial stab at 'slices' is ~:
drive 2:
/ 2GB
/boot 2GB
/tmp 2GB
/swap 16GB Machine has 8GB RAM, so swap = 2X RAM
/usr 50GB
/jails 178GB
drive 2:
/var 100GB
/data 100GB MailStore, DBs, www source files, etc.
/home 20GB
I'll betcha some of that's silly or wasteful.
Any insighful comments or better advice on this ^^ would make me a happy gal :-)
Thanks a lot!
Ali
