Hi Bill, i have a similar configuration and best practice is: Logical drive 0: Put here / and swap partition if you need it.
Logical drive 1: Use LVM to split RAID5 hardware into 3 partitions and put here /var, /usr and /home partitions. About partition distribution.... /home = 300 users * quota space for each one /var= 70% of raid5 - /home /usr= 30% of raid5 - /home Using LVM on your RAID5 you will say something like that (example from linux RAID howto, dont see values like optimal for you....): # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 942M 419M 475M 47% / /dev/vg0/backup 40G 1.3M 39G 1% /backup /dev/vg0/amdata 496M 237M 233M 51% /var/lib/amanda /dev/vg0/mirror 62G 56G 2.9G 96% /mnt/mirror /dev/vg0/webroot 97M 6.5M 85M 8% /var/www /dev/vg0/local 2.0G 458M 1.4G 24% /usr/local /dev/vg0/netswap 3.0G 2.1G 1019M 67% /mnt/netswap With this, you have a good production server to run. Well, try it if you want and good luck. :-D Bill Asher escribió: > > Thanks everyone for the encouragement, I feel safe that Ubuntu is the > distro I hoped it was in the production world. > > I will be using it mainly for an internal application, single domain > running Apache2, MySQL5, PHP5.
