I have just inherited a 25GB 3-disk RAID for a FreeBSD mailserver which already has 4GB configured as follows : [current config] / 100 MB /usr 3600 MB /var -> /usr/var /swap 500 MB since the additional 25GB will be used for users' mail, is there any recommended way to split it or should I just make it one big /data partition symlink /var to it as follows : [proposed config] ie. / 100 MB /usr 3600 MB /var -> /data/var /swap 500 MB /data 25000 MB Just like the school of thought that places /var on /usr/var since disk usage is unpredictable, I figured that it's less troublesome and more efficient (in terms of usage) to put everyone and everything on one big 25GB slice. Does this sound reasonable ? Any caveats to beware of ? thank you in advance, chas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
