I prefer to define my parts manualy like this A / 256Mo B swap 1024Mo (or 4096 max on machines that will open read&write mode many many big files at same time only) D /tmp 1024Mo usualy, 4.3Go if you create many DVD's E /var 1024Mo to 4096Mo usualy 1024, 4096 while using apache/mysql/php/ only or apps that write many log files F /usr 1024Mo G /usr/X11R6 256Mo H /usr/local 4096Mo to 8192Mo (depending on application list you have to install) usualy 4096Mo il already too big I /usr/src 2048Mo J /home all of the free space
when I have 2 or more disks I put /var swap & /tmp & /usr/local if I have enough free space on the fastest disk in the machine When your /var will be full, it will not grow up, you have to purge some log files (use logrotate or so will help), to purge read mails & print queues to get free space. With a so huge /var 90% is anormal, you should already look for a logrotate solution or choose a new partition map you will use on next update of the machine. > ---------------------------------------- > From: lilit-aibolit <lilit-aibo...@mail.ru> > Sent: Fri Jan 13 12:40:37 CET 2012 > To: <misc@openbsd.org> > Subject: disk management > > > Hi misc.
