As you can figure it depends of the final use of the equipment... So I will tell you how we do it on some cases" a) mail server (using plain sendmail) s0 / (that includes / and /usr, these partitions barely grows with patching and you must enforce to install on /opt/sfw) s1 swap (2 or 3 of course there is a link on /usr/local/ -> /opt/sfw/ . Size 2.4 GB (it supports Developer custom install) s3 /var (alone, at least 3 * RAM Installed, to support crash files and the mail... of course it depends of mailbox size to serve) s4 /opt (alone, how big it depends we use 4GB).
s5 or s6 whole space to be used with soft partitions... so it will let you manage partitions size easier.. s7 10MB metadb b) DB Server s0 ident s1 swap (Oracle says at least 2.5 times installed RAM) s3 /var (2 * RAM or 1.8 GB, large enough to support crash and yearly logs) s4 /opt (it depends) s5 or s6 iden, of course is better to use other disks and /or SAN s7 10MB metadb That's my humble contrib -- Saludos, atte.
