One last question. Since I'm doing all partitions onto RAID devices across my 2 drives, what's the proper way to do the swap partition? I had set it up on both drives just to be consistent without knowing any good/bad implications of that. I didn't want one drive to have a chunk of unused space equivalent to the swap partition size on the other drive. With a swap partition on two drives, would Linux use either/both and therefore be somewhat resilient in case of a drive failure?
Just curious. Thanks!

If I don't find a buyer for my HP Netserver, I may just play with LVM myself. For a relatively static server, though, I think you'l do fine with the partitioning scheme I gave. I build most of my servers based on such a percentage or setup. Now desktops and laptops are a different beast. /usr really get's used then because you tend to want to load a lot of applications on them. My first Linux book was one that shipped with RH5.1. It did a good job of laying out what partitions are used for and recommended sizes. I've loosely used that ever since, upping the sizes for modern boxes and versions as I've moved along. Good luck on the project! Glad I could help. <<JAV>> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
