Re: Recommended Partitioning
hi ya rob...
the simple ones first....assumming you'd be using win2k and autocad...
i'd try something like 8G-10G for win2k..... as the first
partition /dev/hda1 aka c:
rest is up to linux....etc.... and if yu think you might want to
boot debian and redhat and mandrake or something else....
each needs about 2G-3G of space...
for my silly reasons...i usually do:
( c: ) 2Gb if any WinXX stuff
/ 64M
/tmp 128M
/var 256M or 512M for big(ger) web/email servers
/usr 2Gb and/or move /usr/local to /home/local
/home rest of disk - or about 1G of user space
swap swap space is 2x physical memory...
i tend to only backup /home and /etc.....rest is already on cdrom
except if you might want to backup ( tsk tsk ) peoples unread emails
in /var/spool/mail..... and if you want webstats...put um in
/home/httpd/logs or some user defined place....not system....
to me...there is no reason to separate /boot and / since both
is needed to boot...and also to lilo for dual(n) booting
if redhat crashes while / and /boot is mounted from the
other partitions... you lose both partitions...or at least
the time for e2fsck / and /boot....instead of just one
( assuming /boot is small....its nothing to worry about
( in either case
