Hi,
I'm setting up a box to be a webserver with mysql as the backend database
and I need a little advise about hot I should partition things.
I have 3 drives:
2 - 18 gig SCSIs set up as a level 1 raid
1 - 20 gig ide
What are good sizes for the partitions?
I want to put everything on the raid array: /, /home, /usr, /var, etc. and
use the ide drive as internal backup.
Are there any problems with mounting / from a raid array?
How about /boot ?
Should I mount the raid as /home and put the rest of the system on the ide
drive?
the RPMs install MySQL in /var/lib/mysql
/var seems like a dumb place for it, with the recommended size for the /var
partition it would run out of space when the DB gets large.
Where do other people put it? I was thinking of /home/mysql
thanks for any thoughts,
Gavin
