I'll probably catch some flak for this but make one big partition for root
(I would say 4 GB) and another one for your logs. You can redirect your
logs to anyplace you like. There has been a long running argument among
Unix folks about whether to make one big partition or provide separate
partitions for / /usr /var /opt. I had always done the separate partition
route just because I had always done it that way and was always running out
of room in /usr or /opt when trying to install packages and doing different
things. I have since tried the one big partition route and have not had one
single problem (my firewall is done that way). Sure beats guessing how much
space you might need for each partition.

Subject: [FW1] Recommended Solaris Disk Partition
Hello,
I am setting up a new FW-1/VPN-1 Enterprise system w/Reporting Module on
a Solaris Ultra 10 with a 9gb disk and 512mb memory. I also intend
to use the "Solastice Disk Suit" to mirror this disk. What would the
recommended disk partition sizes?
Also, should I install the Solaris 64bit support or just 32 bit?
Thanks.
