hi ya alexander...
partition size is sort of an individual preference
for partition info....faqs..
http://www.linux-1u.net/Installation/partition.html
i prefer...
/ - small as possible ( 64Mb-128Mb )
- so that single user works even on some corrupted systems
/tmp
/var - 256mb - more for mail servers
/usr - 1Gb - 4Gb
/opt - rest of disk
put user data into /opt or on your 20gb disk ...
- keep the above system stuff separated from user stuff
for your case..use one of the 4Gb disks as your system....
and use the other as a raid mirror or regular backup ...
and use the 20Gb for data for your db server
have fun
