 Partition?

Not really.  It's a matter of judgement.  If you'd like to take a go,
there's a whole appendix in the Debian installation guide at
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apcs03.html.en
or the equivalent for your system.

  For new users, personal Debian boxes, home systems, and other
  single-user setups, a single / partition (plus swap) is probably the
  easiest, simplest way to go. However, if your partition is larger
  than around 6GB, choose ext3 as your partition type.

(I think this is what debian's installer tries to do, too.)

  In general, the partitioning situation varies from computer to
  computer depending on its uses.

There is also a link to the Multi-Disk HOWTO which goes into much more
detail.  I'd not worry about it too much, make some reasonable guess
and put it in your diary (or the task scheduler) to check how much
disk is actually being used.

Hope that helps,

With 320GB, you're fine no matter what you do. It does depend on the
size of your collection though, that's the key thing. But something like:
/var = 150GB
/ = 30GB

with everything else being under '/' should be fine, and if you set it
up using LVM you can always reallocate space in the future should you
need to.

If you want to have backups in their own place, how much space you give
that depends completely on how many backups you store, what exactly
you're storing there, and how big your database is. If you start with
something like 20GB, then you can resize it later on should you find
it's not enough (though, if you regularly sync stuff off-site, which you
should do anyway, it won't need to be all that big.)

These are guidelines anyway, other practices vary.

[Koha] help for debian partition for koha

2012-08-13 Thread Ram Verma
Dear All,

I am new to Debian and Koha, what is the criteria for space allocation in
Debian Partition?
I will be using only one operating System: Debian 6.0.5 (Squeeze); and the
system is dedicated for  Koha 3.8.3; Hard disk space is: 320 GB, RAM: 2GB

Could you please guide me for meaningful partitioning of Debian.

/(root) = ?
/boot =?
/usr =?
/var =?
/opt =?
/tmp =?
/backup for koha-data (manually created)  =?

Thank You.
Ram.
