It once occurred to me that I wanted to install solaris cluster patch, but there wasn't enough space under /var, so I usually let /var alone. /export/home/ is usually where users are. IIRC, /home (an empty directory) is used for NFS mounted user directories, so it is usually not counted.
Also, I create a /usr/local separated slice, since I put a lot of freeware on it. HTH, Leo -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Grindell, Joan M. Enviado el: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 15:55 Para: 'Solaris-Users mailing list'; 'The SunHELP List' Asunto: [Solaris-Users] Standards for OS installation Does anyone know of or have standards for OS installs. We are working in a contracting environment and need to come up with standards that can be used for our production boxes. There is a question about what to include under the root partition. Some folks favor separating out /var, /home and putting them in their own slices. the main reason is protect against the root slice storage from being eaten up by users or logging applications. In addition, we are looking for recommendations as to what size partitions should be. Our disks are 72 gigs. Any point of view will be greatly appreciated. many thanks Joan _______________________________________________ Solaris-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/solaris-users
