I've been reading the docs, but I'd like some practical experience on this one, since I'll have pretty much one time to get this correct. I'm getting ready to install RHEL AS3 to a Dell PowerEdge 2650. It came from the factory with 5 SCSI disks pre-configured into a single RAID-5 (135GB). I've never used LVM, I've always used Disk Druid to partition drives. >From the docs LVM seems to be a good idea, as I'm not completely sure how much space I'm going to need for a couple of the partitions/volumes/whatever. My server will be running a MySQL database with a Tomcat4 front end. I was thinking of creating a regular /boot partition of 200meg, and the rest LVM, with: swap 2GB /tmp 10GB /var 70GB /usr 4GB / 10GB unalloc whatever's left, about 40GB Questions: 1) Would using LVM for all of the non-boot "partitions" make sense in this case? 2) Does the above "partitioning" scheme make sense? I don't know how big the mysql database will get, but IIRC, the data files are stored under the /var tree, so I wanted to make sure that it had room to grow. Comments? Thanks!
