You don't need to create a mount point or format a partition for
mod_dav, it will just work with Apache once you have davfs and mod_dav
installed (just use urpmi).
The trick, then, is setting up your Apache directory with the proper
permissions. You need to turn webDAV on for the directory, and specify
an .htaccess file if you want. For example:
<Location /calendars>
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "WebDAV Calendars"
AuthUserFile /var/www/calusers
<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
And of course restart Apache.
It takes some tinkering to figure out how to publish a calendar using
Mozilla, though.
Note that if you ever plan on using webDAV with Windows and connecting
via Windows Explorer (network connection) that it will not work if you
require authentication. There is something broken in MS's
implementation (surprise); there are a few hacks/workarounds out there,
but I decided not to bother. I've also found that webDAV works a lot
better with Apache 1.3 compared to 2.x.
Here's a pretty good site for walking you through the process:
