While I'm here, I figure I'd share how I end up partitioning most of the server systems I maintain. I use this general "formula" when building a new system, unless it's a 4-disk box (see bottom of mail): ad4s1a = / = UFS2 = 1GB ad4s1b = swap = (2*RAM) or (2*MaxRAMPossible) ad4s1d = /var = UFS2+SU = 16GB (mandatory: must be>= 2*RAM) ad4s1e = /tmp = UFS2+SU = (2*RAM) ad4s1f = /usr = UFS2+SU = 16GB
Why you are suggesting /var >= 2*RAM? Is it just for saving crash dumps or anything else? And why so big /tmp? I am running servers with smaller sizes for years without any problem. (I am not using crash dumps and if I need it, it seems better to use dumpdir="/my/large/storage")
