Greetings: RE: http://www.psoft.net/HSdocumentation...l#partitioning Do you feel a need for a separate partition for /etc ? In terms of /var usage on the mail server, you may want to project mail volume usage (pop3, queue life time of undelivered mail -- disk space) to determine if 5 GB will cut it. Also note that H-Sphere uses /var for the physical location of the database files; so you will want to adjust /var for that projected usage as well. Thank you. __________________ Peter M.

Greetings Sam: 1. I always go with the largest hard drives we can afford given we can justify the use of them. We also go with SCSI over IDE; and go with RAID-1 over non-RAID (using hardware RAID). 2. We do not create a separate /etc/ partition. We do have our own scheme which we share with our customers. However, you are on the right track. My recommendation is to evaluation the /var partition on mail and database servers. Qmail will be in /var/qmail Impact is volume of mail along with queue life time Databases will be in /var/lib (such as /var/lib/mysql). Impact will be database overhead plus databases. Thank you. __________________ Peter M.
