Giving 1G for /var is > *asking* for trouble - what happens when you have a hardware error, or an > intrusion attempt, and the logs fill the partition? You mentioned logfiles. I find it good practice to give essential processes an explicit partition for logging and another one for data. This way i can get away with relatively small system partitions. And if you do syslog to a remote target, what else remains in local logfiles. Actually, When I said i was not after numbers, I meant I would like to avoid the discussion if 1 or 2 or 20 gb are adequat. Of course the perfect amount depends on how one is doing things. With the method i was describing everyone can find out himself and adjust as needed. -- Best Regards, Markus Falb
