Where there was two gigabytes to play with before (for the OS, swap, logs, ...), I find myself staring at about 8 on the new drives, and wondering how to make partitioning decisions that will still look resonable some time down the track. (The data drives will be brought across from the old system.) Apart from examining how the present system copes, is there something I should be reading, or is it just a matter of experience, or are all ISP systems started from best guesses and growed like Topsy? :-) -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
