Recommended partitioning

[Bill Schoolcraft]

At Sun, 16 Oct 2005 it looks like Teo De Las Heras composed:

> Based on recommendations here is how I'm going to partition the two FreeBSD
> servers that I'm installing in my lab.
>
> mail, print, web, and file server
> Part Size
> / 200M
> /usr 15G - Ports live in usr
> /tmp 256M
> (swap) 2G - paging file
> /var 10G - print spool, db files, other log files??
> /var/mail 10G - for all mail files and easy backup
> /www 5G - Web server - I'm going to have a lot of content
> /home 50G - for all user files
> *The rest of the space I'll leave unused in case I need to grow a partition
>
> Firewall/Router
> Part Size
> / 200M
> /tmp 256M
> /usr 7G
> swap 512M
> /var 2G
>

I found this to be an interesting read on all FreeBSD boxes
