I'm going to be setting up a web server this Friday, and I'm trying to work out how to partition the disk. The plan is to use apache mod_v_host to serve up to 50 domains and will also be an email server. PHP + MySQL also. It's expected that most of the domains will be small fry, probably most of the usage (disk + bandwidth) will be the email.
First, the box is a 60G 10,000 RPM disk PIII 750MHz, 512MB RAM. Does this sound reasonable? I have a couple things I need to decide: (1) what partitions to define and (2) what sizes to make them. For example, one document I read suggested creating a seperate partition for /var/spool/mail and /var/lib. I'm a bit nervous that if I guess wrong then I'll be screwed when the partition fills up. I'm not going to mess around with LVM. So, what's a good rule of thumb for how much space to save for emails, for, say, 50 domains, each with say five addresses? Ball park, say +/- 1G. Is it better to break up /var into different partitions or leave it all as one? Thanks for any pointers! Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
