Hi
This is how I partition my system's {minimally} :
swap This must exist. See swap guide below.
/ 250M {/root,/bin,/sbin,/etc,/dev}
/boot 30M
/home 500M
/mnt 30M
/tmp 120M
/usr The rest of your drive up to 3G should be plenty.
/usr/src 120M
/var 120M
/var/log 120M
/var/spool 120M
Total 1410 + /usr + swap
This should be lots for a regular machine.
Swap Guide {these are guide lines not rules}
I never use more than 512M swap.
Minimum I use is 32M.
RAM SWAP
--- ----
0M-32M 32M
32M-128M 2*RAM
128M-MAXRAM 512M
For lots of web stuff, you may want a {/var/www or /home/httpd}
partition.
For a mail server you may want {/var/spool/mail and maybe
/var/spool/mqueue}.
Most of the partitions will be under utilized, but I feel that it is
better to
be safe than sorry.
This is from a machine I am setting up as a replacement web server.
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 505164 107944 371138 23% /
/dev/hda1 58525 7532 47971 14% /boot
/dev/hda6 1860220 211240 1554484 12% /home
/dev/hda9 5149344 107520 4780252 3% /home/users
/dev/hda8 505132 577 478475 1% /tmp
/dev/hda5 4122352 1129476 2783468 29% /usr
/dev/hda10 505132 66202 412850 14% /var
/dev/hda11 505132 13169 465883 3% /var/log
/dev/hda7 505132 9858 469194 3% /var/spool
/dev/hda3 is the swap partition.
/dev/hda4 is the extended partition.
This machine doesn't have use a gui, if you install everything /usr
could reach up to 80% of the configuration of this machine.
An ide drive can be set-up with up to 13 partitions 1-4 can be primary
partitions, 1 of the first four partitions can be an extended partition
supporting 10 {5-15} logical partitions.
