the big question is, where are you putting the Site web pages? home, var? I'm not sure if you really want to go percentages for the drive. I have my system partitioned with (and current usage): / 121M /home 600M /scratch 14G /tmp 17M /usr 2.1G /var 133M This is a laptop/develepment box. I use /scratch for stuff that I can lose if needed. My web resides under /usr/local/www I usually partition more or less the above scheme (no high volume web sites). I rarely see var or / needing very much. /usr is where most of the stuff gets installed. I have seen a separate partition for /usr/local. If you use /var for the web and do logging for dozens of sites, then you would probably want to devote more space to /var Just my opinions here.
