Correct. Separate /boot, ,/, /usr, /etc and /var for certain, and /tmp, /usr/local, and /opt depending on your software installation discipline. > How many partitions should I create and what should they contain? You need a software installation design that you religiously follow to answer this question. See above for what we do -- you need to be willing to slap the hand of any vendor or developer that violates it (and puts stuff in system directories). I'd also consider creating a /usr/local mount point, and then a file system on a central server that is /usr/local/<arch>/(bin, sbin, etc) that is mounted over that to provide common applications. > Also, what percentage of the available space should the > partitions occupy? Your software installation design will answer this question for you. It's a function of how frequently your software changes and the variation between servers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
