Hi, I'm about to install a new Debian system. Previously what I've done is to create 3 partitions (/, /boot, swap), but now that I have the oporttunity, I'd like to do things differently. I was reading the Debian reference guide (the security part), and also openBsd partitioning schemes, and they both agree that having specific storage areas in different isolated sections (partitions in this case), would help a lot for security reasons, so that for example a section won't grow beyond its limits (inhibiting other pieces of the system to operate correctly), and also some speed reasons are argued as well, :)...
Well, The following scheme is proposed (from what I read btoh from openBsd and Debian reference guide): Partition Suggested Size (openBsd) / 150 M /usr 6 G /var 80 M /tmp 120 M /home 4 G /boot /opt /usr/local /usr/src 4 G <= Source compilation oriented. /var/log 150 M /var/tmp 1 G /var/www /var/mail /var/spool/mail /var/cache/apt However I'm not sure about those numbers, and besides there's no clear size for ALL targets. Is there some other documentation around with sizes suggestions? I understand this, like anything else is, "well, it depends"... My intention is to install a web/mail/printer/... server, multiuser, and I also want users to still be able to keep multimedia at their homes, and I want a secure scheme as possible as well, etc. I count with a 180 G... Any suggestions, specially to fill in the sizes, would be helpful. Notice my previous approaches would consist on a 500M /boot, a 1G swap (the box has 512M ram), and ~6.5G /, but I want to change that, :) Thanks, -- Javier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
