My standard recommendations are at http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Linux/FAQs/partition.html In your case, you may want to look at deviating from the standard configs shown with an expanded /var, or at reparenting your webserver, database, and CVS repositories under /home. I'd assume all of the RAID partition is presented as /home. You could probably run with a greatly expanded /var to fill drive 1 as well. Even going generous with /usr and /usr/local (say 3-4 GB each), you're going to have something like 10-12 GB to play with on your drive 1. Cheers. -- Karsten M.
