I'm trying to find in depth info about the proper way to layout drives, slices, partions, filesystems, FHS in unix land, also in relation to server role types. I've read Chapters 2 and 3 from the FreeBSD Handbook and Chapter 16, from Absolute BSD but they seem to be lacking the detailed info I'm looking for. Basicly I need to know where the heck I put the 25gigs of data thats on are old NT server on are new FreeBSD server, In windows I'd just partion a drive in two (Drives C: and D:) C: for for OS and Programs and D: for Data but in unix the layout is hierarchical and data is stored all over the place (/home, /usr, /var)? /Nikolas
