Hi

I'm setting up a new server and I wondered about hdd partitioning - I need big /var and also a big /home - I thought about creating one big /home and symlinking the /var to /home/var .

Is there anything that should stop me from doing that? Any performance issues?

fragmentation. VAR by definition is very active, lots of small additions
to multiple files (logs) and lots of creations and deletes (var/cache
and var/spool).

Now when I think of it RedHat puts both WWW and FTP data in /var as well (/var/{www|ftp}).

I used to move it to /home/www until now. Is it better to keep everything in /var? this data is mostly static, so I wonder why RedHat decided to move it to there.
