Oh, if you're doing that, you probably want /usr/local separate too, for the same reason you want /home split off. (In fact, on my own systems, I usually make /usr/local a symlink to /home/local.) > For the various dbs in the system, /var/www, etc., 2GB for /var is also > just barely enough.

So I like to give it 1GB. Careful with that -- you don't want to end up with files from the boot process covered up in the /tmp mountpoint.... > Speaking of / , I have been giving it a full 1GB.
