Hi All,
Since some months we are running SuSe Linux Guests under z/VM. For the
initial installations I used IBM's redpaper written by Simon Williams
about building SLES8 systems under z/VM. This initial installation was
not very carefull with DASD space, it took about 2 3390-III volumes. So a
lot of space will be wasted by programs which will never be used because
the server only acts as a websever or a ftp server!
The time has come we want to grow with our number of Linux Guests but we
don't want to install every guest on 2 3390 volumes. I tried to install
SLES8_64b on different smaller minidisks but was not very successfull in
it.
When I tried to install a minimum selection of packages in one partition
(minidisk) of 1100 cylinders it works.
/ 1100 cylinders
When I tried to install the same selection of packages in different
partitions (minidisks) the installation fails. I took more space because
there are 3 more filesystems I thought!
/ 300 cylinders
/usr 600 cylinders
/var 300 cylinders
/home 100 cylinders
Does anyone can give me advise in: 1.) partitioning (which
mountpoints on different minidisks and with which filesystem?)
2.) a minimum selection of
software packages with SLES8 ( for e.g. a web- or FTP server?)
Kind Regards,
