[Samba] Samba and the partitions...
Hi everyone, I am Daniel from Brazil, today i started as a membership of this list. I hope learn a lot about samba with you guys...and girls. :-) My first doubt. Actually is kind of off topic, but i will try. I will setup HP server. This HP will run Linux with firewall, squid and the major component will be the SAMBA ! The HP has a 160 GB HD. I will use samba as PDC with more or less 20 PCs in the network. My doubt is. Which is the best partition scheme for this ? (I know that this kind of question is a sh***...but any tip is welcome) My directory scheme in the Linux that: == / /bin /etc /home/ / / ..users /srv/ /sales/ /docs /misc... /stock/ /docs.. / misc... /adm/ /managers /etc / = My three main directories are SALES, STOCK and ADM . Will be a lot of dates there. I put them at root, but i think is not a good idea, i think that they can go to another partition. I am worry about the /var and /home directories. Ok...it's enough :-) Thank you for your time. Bests, Daniel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

My directory scheme in the Linux that: == / /bin /etc /home/ / / ..users /srv/ /sales/ /docs /misc... /stock/ /docs.. / misc... /adm/ /managers /etc / = I would make the following partitions / /boot /home and /srv Sizing them will be very dependent on your system. Possibly you may want to install lvm (and use either reiserfs or ext3 as they have the ability to grow or shrink) and use that in the future to aide in resizing the filesystems if your guess is wrong..

My understanding of the conventional wisdom is that the firewall machine should ONLY run your firewall, and related security tools. Having samba on that machine seems to me to highly risky. If you fire wall is breached in any way, you have pretty much presented your intruder with everything he wants to know about your system. just my $.02 Cdn.
