No mail servers or other complicated stuff, just a plain-vanilla web server for the general public and an average visitor traffic of below 1000 per day.
I have 40G to use up on an AMD Sempron 1300+ with 512MB and was just wondering what would be a good way to divvy up the partitions. I was thinking something like this:
SWAP 1024M / 1057M /db 6.3G /usr 24G /var 4.2G /www 42G
I've heard arguments for and against a separate /db and/or /tmp partition as well as using a /home. Also I see that there is a /usr/local/www directory already so perhaps the /www partition is not required. Is a separate /db partition really needed?
I'm pretty confused and would like to setup my web server the right way once and for all. Are there any standard recipes and/or guides to figuring this out or is it just a bunch of guess work?
How does this look?
/usr/local/www/data is the default DocumentRoot for apache. This can all be changed. Here is my take of
your configuration.
A) / is WAY too big. I generally allocate about 200M for /, if you are planning on not separating /tmp. Make it
slightly larger, say 500M.
B) again, im not sure what you are trying to accomplish with /db
C) 4G for /var is pretty generous. I run a medium size webserver, and my /var is only 2G.
D) separating /www isnt really nescessary, though theres really no downside to this.
Here would be my partitioning sceme.
1024M - SWAP 300M - / 2G - /var the rest - /usr
linking /tmp to /usr/tmp is generally a good idea in my book. Hope this helps.
