Full Version: Disk partitioning

I have always used GNU/Linux but now I must migrate to FreeBSD.
I am a new user of FreeBSD and I need some help about disk partitioning.
I will buy a server with 250GB disk and I will install apache+mysql/postgres+php on it.
Do you think the following is a good disk partitionig?

swap 4000MB or 2000MB for a PC with 2000MB of RAM?
/ 1000MB USF
/usr 6000MB USF+S
/tmp 1000MB USF+S
/var 4000MB USF+S
/var/mail 1000MB USF+S
/var/log 2000MB USF+S
/opt 5000MB USF+S
/home the rest USF+S

Is better to have a 2GB or 4GB of swap for a PC with 2000MB of RAM?
Then, I think to link /tmp to /var/tmp, is a good idea?
Thank you.

as far as swap goes normally people double the ram, so 4G is good. I would increase the var and /var/log little more. Others seems look fine

you might need review this doc too http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1...tall-steps.html
hope that helps
