I am still learning about sizing, so I will ask a bit here.
I am setting up a small SAMBA file server, it will have about 10 - 15 users
on it. The clients (for time being, I already used the FREE word and saw
their pointy ears perk up) are Windows machines. Machine has 256M
of RAM
The machine I am setting up will have two hard disk
The first one will be a 2.5G HD, the second one will be a 40G HD.
I would like to get some input on the partitioning for such a system
I presently have it as follows
HDA
/ = 1024M
SWAP =256M
/tmp = 512M
/var = 512M
HDC
Swap = 512M
/var/spool = 2048M
/usr = 2048M
/opt = 2048M
/home = 30008M
Are these good numbers or can I do better?
