Hi. We've got a bunch of servers running different third party applications. Currently there are little or no control with regards to which file systems the applications are install on and which file systems contains the dynamic files such as log files and dump files. Some applications have separate data file systems, while others write to the same file system that contains the binaries. With this kind of setup, one single application can cause serious trouble for all the other applications, when the application fills up the shared file systems. What I'd like to do is force all the different application admins to configure their apps to install the binaries in for example /opt, and make sure that all logs and such are placed in /var. For /var I'm thinking each app will have its own folder, maybe also placed on separete mount points (logical volumes). Alternativly, I could set up quotas on /var, or even a combination of LVMs and quotas (so that the app admins are notified when the file system is more or less full, but not quite). Is there any best practice documents on this subject? I'd really appreciate some input on how to go about increasing the isolation between the different app (with regards to disk usage).
