Hello, I'm new to FreeBSD and this list, my name is Donnacha, I'm an
Irishman living in Edinburgh, Scotland.
I have read The Complete FreeBSD's section on disk partioning but would
very much appreciate some advice on how to divide up the 2 HDDs I'm
getting on my new server.
The server is located in a facility in the US and will be used as a Web
and email server. It has an 80GB HDD and a 200GB HDD, both IDE but I'm
asking for them to be placed on seperate buses.
I was thinking of using the 80GB as the primary and placing / on it,
while putting /var, /usr and /home on the 200GB.
I'll have 2GB of RAM, so, I was thinking about putting 2GB of swap on
each HDD.
How does that sound. I would be very grateful for any advice you can
give me before I relay my instructions to the guys doing the installation.
Thanks and I look forward to participating in this community,
Donnacha
