This is my df -h out put when NO virtual server is running: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda7 486M 80M 381M 18% / /dev/hda1 99M 9.6M 84M 11% /boot /dev/hda6 4.8G 356M 4.2G 8% /home none 251M 0 250M 0% /dev/shm /dev/ida/c0d0p1 42G 16G 24G 38% /storage /dev/hda2 5.8G 3.6G 1.9G 66% /usr /dev/hda3 1.9G 730M 1.1G 40% /var
So even one virtual server eats up something. Just not sure what. I guess I could call VMWare Tech support. Network Fussion did an article on VMWare GSX using RH 7.3 and they had 6 virtual servers running with no problems. I bet they had a larger / partition maybe. -- Joe Giles [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL: mcigiles ------- Registered Linux User #264910 http://counter.li.org ------- Joe Giles said: > Well, I checked /tmp and it was consistent at 5.2 megs through out the > whole ordeal.
