It once occurred to me that I wanted to install solaris cluster patch, but there
wasn't enough space under /var, so I usually let /var alone. /export/home/ is
usually where users are. IIRC, /home (an empty directory) is used for NFS
mounted user directories, so it is usually not counted.

Also, I create a /usr/local separated slice, since I put a lot of freeware on
it.

HTH,

Leo

Asunto: [Solaris-Users] Standards for OS installation


Does anyone know of or have standards for OS installs.  We are working in a
contracting environment and need to come up with standards that can be used for
our
production boxes.

    There is a question about what to include under the root partition.  Some
folks favor separating out /var, /home and putting them in their own slices.
the main reason is protect against the root slice storage from being eaten up by
users or logging applications.

    In addition, we are looking for recommendations as to what size partitions
should be.  Our disks are 72 gigs.

    Any point of view will be greatly appreciated.

many thanks
Joan
