I see a couple of problems already. /boot should be no more than 100MB.
Anything more is a waste. / should be way more than 500MB. I know that
some will say "I run my entire Linux box on a 486DX66 and 250MB HD!"
Well, this is RH8 and gi

then use LVM for the rest. with LVM you'll be able to increase/decrease

Partitioning can be a subjective thing since it depends, in part, on
what you intend to do with the machine. If, for instance, you intend to
have a sizable user base, then you want to have plenty of /home space.
Regardless, most people new to Linux make the mistake of not making /usr
and /var large
All,
I'm setting up a RH8 server (FTP) onto mirrored 40 GB drives (38162 usable...doing the
RAID as part of the OS install) and need some partitioning suggestions for the
installation. What partitions and sizes should I use (and why for those who feel like
being extra informative...thanks in a

As said, it depends, but I think you are looking for what other people

Cut it up into bite-sized pieces, and serve with Ranch dressing.

I usually use either 2xRAM, or 128, depending on the system (my home
machine has 128 physical, and i don't feel that i need 256 swap)

In addition, I'd split out /tmp, and of course don't forget your swap which
the old rule of thumb is 2*physical ram, but I usually use 128M+ (2.2.x) or so with
disk capacities being so outrageously huge.

10 for /boot
100-150 for /
100-200 for /var
