Dear Les, Thank you for replying, You advised to consider /var on a seperate disk,but what about others ? I assume that we have to consider at least 60G for websites and probably we are going to place them in /www. What is your idea ? is it better to consider a seperate partition for that ? our I can implement it under the / ? in this case we will have : / ~= 78G (HDA) Swap ~= 2G (HDA) Boot = 200MB (HDA) /var = 10G (HDB) What is your suggestion ? --- Les Mikesell <lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Sat, 2005-08-27 at 10:55, CHAT KHODA wrote: > > Dear friends, > > We are going to setup a busy web server with tens > of > > web sites.
