next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm building a small server running FreeBSD 2.2.7[1]. It will run Apache, pop/smtp services, no X windows, and connect to the internet via my lan through a separate gateway. It will be a public access server and have a large, searchable database. As it is a dedicated web/mail server, I won't be installing many extra packages or the ports tree (all of that I have on CD or can get via ftp/CVS). It will be primarily remote managed. The server hardware is a 100 MHz AMD K5 with 64 MB of RAM and a 500 MB HDD. It will be a low usage setup, not very many hits and will eventually be replaced by either web hosting or a new server. It's connection to the internet will be via 100bTX ethernet to a separate gateway. My question is how much space should I allocate for each FS? I'm having trouble estimating how much /tmp and /var I'll need and whether or not it would be worth it to place them on separate partitions from /usr. I think a 20 MB / and 96-128MB swap should be enough for now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, TIA. 1: I don't have a later version of FreeBSD to use, but plan on upgrading to a more recent release when I get the new server. -- dpilgrim@uswest.net /\ / __ Our lies are merely the gryph@mindless.com / \/OC/URNE truth of another world ICQ: 29880099 Death is not a kill -9, just a DALnet: anim0s make world and shutdown -r now PGPKey available To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
