did anyone say I use 100 MB for / with /usr? I just would not split 100MB / from 1.9GB /usr but use 2GB / without separate /usr. if I need to split something somewhere, it's separate /boot for making booting process easier (or even possible) > > > better: /var; ext3; 1 GB > > > /var/log; ext3; 500 MB > > I don't see any reason to have them separate. > > let a process running crazzy and filling op your diskspace with tonns > of logfiles (debug.log, kern.log and syslog are written parallel) > > You will be happy, IF you have a seperated log partition! I don't remember that happening to me.

It would fill up 1GB filesystem the same way independently on filesystem used - tmpfs (with swap big enough) or anything other. Putting 1GB to swap and using 1GB /tmp on swap helps, when there are really temporary files with processes working with them. I'd try to find out who and why needs that big file in /tmp (why not e.g. /var/tmp) Working with files in /tmp is much faster if /tmp is mounted on swap. If that makes your system slower, they probably even don't have to be in /tmp (/tmp means temporary, any data that have to be preserved upon reboot, do NOT belong there). > > However I haven't seen /tmp used that much for long time.

How many of memory do you have in those machine? -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
