But who's filling the bathtub with power tools? <snip> I missed the thread overnight (for me), but the way I used to recommend it is part of my article, which you can read at <http://24.5-cent.us/upgrading_linux.doc> These days, our default here at work is: /boot is 200M (we'll probably be moving that up to 300M or 500M, given the preupgrade of fedora that will probably be coming down the pike). 2GB is swap and the rest of the drive is / (my manager doesn't like LVM, for some reason). home directories are *always* NFS mounted here; at home, it's *always* on a separate partition or drive, along with /opt, though I might start putting /usr/local there as well, given that some things seem to be moving back there from /opt. Sizing: remember, do NOT size for "typical", size for worst huge case, esp. for a production or development system that others will be using. mark _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
