I worked for a small company that uses Ubuntu for Asterisk phone system support. They typically used a 40G (now 80G - whatever is reliable and easily available and least expensive in the market, above 20G). Their standard partitioning is: /boot 100M ext1 swap 2G (they liked 1G, but 2G made me more comfortable) / half or remainder - ext2 /var remainder ... logs and phone call recordings can get big - ext2 If there is another data drive available, swap 2G (again this is me, just to distribute the load, set the priority to be either lower or the same as the boot disk swap. Equal will use round robin scheduling, lower will make this the primary swap partition. /opt remainder ... ext2 ... if setting up a dirvish or backuppc server and putting the backups here, I made it ext1. the ext2 journals didn't save that much on IO. The boss liked to call this /datadump instead, but that was just a personal thing. For highly available systems, we set up mirror of boot drive with hardware raid controller. Make sure the raid controller board has its own battery... Again, that goes to personal bias from being bit in the past. I hope this helps! -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of stephen goldman Sent: Monday, March 17, 2008 11:10 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Partition Drive- Number of primary vs logical Ubuntu- Hello Blu, I asked a question about partition a drive or taking the "guided partition. With better information in hand I decided to partition the disk. What is the rule or recommendation as deciding what should be "primary and logical " drive space I chose - /boot primary / primary Interested in thoughts of the remaining and why Thanks, Stephen /etc /var /usr Stephen Goldman Systems Administrator MIT Biology 617-452-2595 [hidden email] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
