Aloha Brian,
There are some things you want to take into consideration when
setting up solaris. which partitions are dynamic.which are
static.
/ reletively static if you break out /var and /opt and any user
data /home
/var is the most dynamic partion. make it its own partition I set
this to at least 500 meg to 1 gig.
/opt is where packages are installed give it some good room to
grow. I usually give this the same or more that /var.
/usr/openwin is where the openwindows packages are installed.
some say you should break this out as well I don't usually. if
you do it reduces the size required by the / partition
/tmp your swap partition. I set this to double your ram. if you
run out of swap space your server will crash the same goes for
the / partition.
here is how my partitions look
0 root wm 0 - 3657 1.76GB
(3658/0/0) 3687264
1 swap wu 3658 - 5283 800.30MB (1626/0/0)
