/home and /usr/local can also be network mounted (cifs or nfs).You could, theoretcally, network mount /usr, but I have never seen thatin practice.
NFS-mounting /usr/local would then, ironically, not make it local anymore. /usr/local came out of the need for computer-specific software installed when /usr was, indeed, mounted from a central NFS server.
At work we tend toward: / 8GB /boot 256MB /var 2GB /tmp 2GB swap 2GBThose are the sizes we have set in our kickstarts, at least. We kickstart everything to use LVM, too, so we can very easily adjust size or add volumes as needed. In fact, we only allocate about 16GB or so (well, whtever the above filesystems add up to) on install, so there's usually the rest of the 80GB or 160GB HD left over.
For VM's, we use a single 16GB virtual disk with the same filesystems/ sizes as above. Other things are either mounted over the network, or (soon) via AoE or iSCSI. If we need system-local storage, we'll either extend the virtual disk (vmware-vdiskmanager is your friend) or add another.
Some special-purpose systems only get 2GB or 4GB / filesystem. Gregory -- Gregory K. Ruiz-Ade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> OpenPGP Key ID: EAF4844B keyserver: pgpkeys.mit.edu
