I'd set up reasonnable system partitions (depending on what you'll install)
such as
50/100 MB for /boot
2/4GB for /
swap (twice ram)
then use LVM for the rest. with LVM you'll be able to increase/decrease
partitions size seamlessly

I see a couple of problems already. /boot should be no more than 100MB.
Anything more is a waste. / should be way more than 500MB. I know that
some will say I run my entire Linux box on a 486DX66 and 250MB HD!
Well, this is RH8 and given what you're
.
Now I have to go read up on LVM to see if I can add it to the mix.
Thanks again!

I've not played with LVM myself, but it would certainly give you
flexibility. If I don't find a buyer for my HP Netserver, I may just
play with LVM myself. For a relatively static server, though, I
on two drives, would Linux
use either/both and therefore be somewhat resilient in case of a drive failure?
Just curious. Thanks!

All,
I'm setting up a RH8 server (FTP) onto mirrored 40 GB drives (38162 usable...doing the
RAID as part of the OS install) and need some partitioning suggestions for the
installation. What partitions and sizes should I use (and why for those who feel like
being extra informative...thanks in
Partitioning can be a subjective thing since it depends, in part, on
what you intend to do with the machine. If, for instance, you intend to
have a sizable user base, then you want to have plenty of /home space.
Regardless, most people new to Linux make the mistake of not making /usr
and /var
* Joe Polk
I typically partition as follows:
/boot - can be very small, around 50-75MB. I think RH8 recommends 75mb.
/ - I like to make this fairly large, but not the largest since it
houses everything not specified elsewhere.
/home - If you intend to have lots of users or share
