What is not unusual is to symlink /home e.g: # ln -s /usr/home /home ditto for /tmp. i.e you remove all the stuff that uses up space from the root partition. So the only slices you need are /, /usr, /var and swap. How I'd slice up the disk: 2GB for / 2GB for swap 2GB for /var 34GB for /usr
Ah so BSD is slightly different from Linux in the fact that it needs to have /var and /usr filesystems separate??
I guess it must be similar to the way Solaris handles things when UFS based (not ZFS).....
The /home partition then is very similar to Solaris in that /export/home is considered the user directory. Means BSD stores /home in /usr/home??
Should be OK but /tmp symlinked to /usr/tmp as some things can really fill up /tmp. For example, IIRC OpenOffice needs gigs of temp space to build.
OpenOffice or IIRC is for GUI based usage and not CLI. Since this will be a simple server no GUI or work will be done on the machine itself in terms of keyboard/mouse setup. Normally I work through SSH so will be much easier once I have network connectivity up and running after initial install :-)
Should work fine. Just remember to make your /home and /tmp symlinks as soon as you first boot up. Regards,
