This is a really silly but quite important question, how do u determin how you partition your harddrive?
I have just got an 80Gb Hdd for our new Linux Fileserver, I was thinking something like this:
/ 2Gb /tmp 2Gb /var 4Gb /usr 5Gb /usr/local 5Gb /home 60Gb swap 2Gb
Why bother separating /, /usr and /usr/local into separate filesystems, BTW? I can see why a separate / makes sense if there's only limited space for the root filesystem, but that's evidently not the case here...
