How should I partition my server? There's 3 hdds.

Finally getting a server setup from an old amd sempron 2ghz 1.5ghz ram computer.  There's three hard drives in it, 10gb, 20 or 40gb and a 250gb.  Should I make the 10gb my / partition, the 20/40gb my /home and the 250gb the /var or what?

Well for starters, what are you going to use this server for?
Personally, I'd create an LVM Logical Group from the 10 and 20/40gb drives and use them for the system with the following mount points:
4gb /
2gb /var
2gb /tmp
4gb /usr
128mb /boot
Then a second LVM Logical Group with just the 250gb drive and use that to create your /home, /data, /srv, /whatever

  • How should I partition 10 gig HD for Mail Server???

    I plan on making a mail server but I am not sure what partitions to use. I have a 10 gig HD, and I dont want to partition it wrong then have no idea how to go back and redo the partitions without reinstalling. I was thinking something like:
    / = 2gig
    swap = 512mb
    /opt = 3gig
    /export/home = 4 gig
    Any idea what steps I should take first to creating a mail server? I still can't find the pop and imap server packages.

    For POP3, I suggest qpopper from Eudora. www.eudora.com/qpopper.
    It virtually installed itself and seems to work fine right from the start. Now if I could only figure out how to get Sendmail to work with SMTP. All my Internet mail gets refused by Sendmail, incoming and outgoing.

  • How should i partition my HD?

    i have 250 Giga
    i already have a partition for windows (20G)
    to make 1 big partition?

    /var -> this partition is for the package you download?
    pacman stores its package database in /var/lib/pacman and caches the downloaded packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg. Also the sources for packages built with makepkg are stored by default in /var/cache/pacman/src.
    10gb should be more than enough for this. I created an own partition for it because i wanted to use reiser (which makes pacmans db access faster on my machine) and ext3 on every other partition.
    /opt - > you said you using it for games, why won`t on /home?
    Of course you can store your games in your /home... Its just a matter of preference, and i prefer to have no apps/games in my /home but use /opt for that and chown the games to my user where its required. Planeshift for example has an internal updater, so you need to have the proper rights...
    /boot -> for what is it needed?
    I never used a boot partition so far so i cant tell you that much about...  AFAIK its used when you use a more exotic fs like xfs/jfs that cannot be read by grub for your root partition. The boot partition is usually ext2 for maximum compatibility and gives you the ability to boot from filesystems that are not supported by your boot loader. There may be more advantages, but i dont know them
    and what about ext2/4 why not using it?
    ext2 has no journaling, so your data is not as safe as compared to ext3... ext4 is in development and unstable, and as far as i know you cant use it with archs installer yet...
    As said, its all a matter of preference and how you like it. The minimum i would suggest is a separate /home partition...

  • How should I partition data across 2 hard drives to make for less latencey?

    Hello all!
    I am using a Dual 2.7 G5 Power Mac and I just bought the Hitachi 500GB internal hard drive to supplement the stock 250GB drive that came in the tower. I mostly want to orient my computer for the needs of a home recording studio. I am Logic Pro user and I want to streamline data retrieval as efficiently as possible.
    Now, I also have a good deal of other junk on my computer (video and iMovie projects). I would love an organization solution on how to partition everything that I have filled my 250GB drive up with across both hard drives. I'm aiming for a solution that will be good for the long-term as I continue to add more and more stuff (audio/music related and non) onto my hard drives.
    Here are a few of the primary concerns which have held me back from just diving in:
    I have several DVD's worth of audio samples (for use with software sampler) that I have yet to load onto this computer. Should I load/move all of my samples onto the secondary 500GB drive or would the streaming retrieval of all of that content from the secondary drive add extra latency and slowdown when the host application running these tasks and retrievals is ran off of the primary drive (the 250GB drive on which the OS is installed)?
    Or should I just move Logic to the secondary 500 GB drive as well as all of the audio samples and run all things having to do with audio production off of that secondary 500GB drive? Would running such a CPU intensive app from the secondary drive make a performance difference compared to running it off of the primary drive? Does it matter whether or not a program is run off of the hard drive where the OS is installed?
    Or should I find a way to have all apps running from the primary 250 GB drive WITH all samples (streaming and non-streaming) also on that drive and just have my project files and audio recording sessions (which eat up large portions of space) located on the secondary 500 GB drive? Or would I run into a noticeable latency with having the recorded audio sessions ran off of the secondary hard drive when I am running the application that retrieves them (Logic) off of the primary drive?
    Where do I put my pro apps? Where do I put my audio samples (mainly for EXS24, SampleTank, and BFD)? Recording sessions? Everything else?
    Please, experienced users, what should I do to garner the best performance out of my Mac?
    Thanking everyone in advance,
    Matt!
    P.S. I am running OS 10.4.6 and using 4.5 GB of memory.

    Thanks you guys. X, that is interesting to read. Chap, I see what you are saying. But I just found these two FAQ's from BFD's website. How do you feel in reference to them? Is it me, or do these questions somewhat contradict each other? :
    Is it a good idea to put BFD on its own partition on my audio drive? [top]
    In general, no. If your harddrive is partitioned and you are streaming from both the BFD partition and your own tracks, this will lead to the hard drive read head jumping back and forth between the two partitions, which may reduce performance. Also, if you are streaming non-BFD audio from the same drive, this reduces the bandwidth available for BFD streaming.
    On which hard drive should I install my BFD data? [top]
    FXpansion recommends, in order of performance preference (first is best):
    1) A dedicated SATA or IDE internal drive, 7200rpm or above
    2) A dedicated external firewire drive (do NOT chain the firewire drive with a digi002 or other firewire audio interfaces!)
    3) A dedicated external USB2.0 drive
    4) An internal drive shared with the data from other heavy disk-accessing programs, eg the operating system (virtual memory swap files), or another disk streaming application such as your host sequencer (audio tracks) or Kontact etc etc.
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2.7Ghz 2.5gigs of RAM   Mac OS X (10.4)  
    So it sounds like they recommend BFD having its very own hard drive. I dont have the resources for that right now. So I wonder what would be better: Sharing the OS drive with BFD as mentioned by X and used as the last resort from FAQ #2, or split my second drive via partition into Samples (including BFD audio) and Storage for projects and raw, recorded audio sessions.
    If only I wasn't such a perfectionist. I would get so much more work done! Thanks again guys. I am indebted.

  • How should I partition?

    Hi there. As I type these words I am installing OS 10.3 on my Imac 700MHz G3 60Gig hard drive. At no time during the installation was I asked to partition the drive. I have some OS 9 applications that I would like to run. Why wasn't I prompted to partition and when I finally do partion, what size volumes should I use? Thanks! Al

    Hi Alfred_J;
    May I ask for what purpose do you want to partition the hard drive.
    Generally it has been my experience that partitions are more of nuisance then a help. So unless you have an extremely good reason for partitioning the hard drive, I would recommend that you don't do it. Leave it as is.
    Any more disks are so cheap that rather then partitioning most everyone is simple getting more disks.

  • How should I partition a new hard drive - for data storage

    My original drive was failing, so I installed another one, with the operating system on it, so that when that one failed, it was not a problem.  Now I have a 2nd one that's failing (or has possibly failed, though I do have it backed up using Time Machine .  I bought another drive today - a 2 TB one and want to install it, possibly partitioning it - maybe with a partition that holds the operating system and some of the software, (though don't know if that's a good idea or not), and part for the data backup of videos I've made, and slideshows from Aperture, etc. - just "stuff".  What is the best way for me to partition it?

    Unless you have very specific requirements, such as wanting to install more than one OS, there's no advantage to creating multiple partitions.

  • How should I install extra Perl modules?

    I thinking about using Munin from Linpro (http://munin.projects.linpro.no/) to monitor my OCS-servers that are running on RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 (and soon-to-come RedHat Enterprise latest version), but this program needs a module called perl-Net-Server.
    How should I install this? There is a perl-installation under the $ORACLE_HOME, but Munin will run as root. Will I mess up something in OCS if I just install the RPM package Munin recomends? (from the DAG archive http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-Net-Server/ )

    I have a problem in iphone4,i am from india and bought a new unlocked iphone4 from USA last month.the problem is when i call someone their is disturbance in the voice and i cant hear the opposite person voice.please inform me how should i overcome this?

    There may be a defect in the phone. As you bought it in the US the only place you can get it looked at is in the US.
    When you say you bought it new, unlocked did you buy it directly from an Apple store? If you did not it was hacked to unlock it, which could also be your problem. Apple stores are the only place in the US that sells legitimately unlocked iPhones.

  • How to stop the RMI server?

    Hi,
    I create a RMI Server, it has no problem to start. And I created a gui for the server, so that when user press the "start" button, it will start the server.
    But somehow I want to update the server and restart again, but while the server is running, i press the "start" button again, i got the following error messages:
    "Server error: internal error: ObjID already in use"
    Is that mean i have to stop the server first? But how should I stop the server? Thx
    Adrian

    Hi,
    I've tried to unexport the remote object and unbind the registry, but I still got this error message when I try to restart the server on the fly:
    "internal error: ObjID already in use"
    Does anyone know why?
    Thanks.

    How do I uninstall SyncMate Server, Activity Monitor shows it still there after appzapper uninstall of SyncMate app? Killing in AM proceeds with a SyncMate Server startup again??
    Mavricks, MacbookPro, typical config of everything and standard business user, no heavy graphics, animation or media editing. MS Office, web apps, etc.
    I have the same issue with Logmein, which I installed a trial, uninstalled with appzapper, which I thought does a good job of untangling the components of apps but for these 2 it doesn't.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx,

    Usually applications like these have their own uninstallers, either build into the installer ( ! ) itself or as a separate uninstaller app. Check the site of the software provider for instructions.
    Here's the instructions for SyncMate: http://wiki.eltima.com/user-guides/syncmate-mac-os/uninstall.html

  • Whenever an slowness issue came in sql server how should I start?

    whenever a slowness issue or performance issue came in sql server how should I start?
    Please guide.
    Thanks

    Hi Ajay,
    All answer given above would be useful to you in some or the other scenario. if you are facing performance issue the approach you take determines how easily and quickly you can find solution.
    First thing is know your system how it works for that you need to first baseline a system. A system with 70 % CPU utilization would not always be issue but for some environment it can be. If you know your system very well moment performance issue  comes
    you would know where is the problem. Wait stats alone is never helpful you must be able to correlate wait stats to what is going on your system. If you know which query is causing issue its easy to see execution plan and tune it. If issue is server wide it
    can be due to missing index outdated stats slow disk subsystem etc. So first step is finding the cause. As Uri suggested wait stats are always helpful I use wait stats and refer to below whitepaper by Microsoft for SQL Server troubleshooting
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd672789%28v=sql.100%29.aspx
    Remember important thing is knowing your system and that can come from base lining.
