- (I wanted to follow-up to something rhealey@rogue.digibd.com (Rob Healey)
- said about Amiga Unix not liking / and /usr on seperate file sytems but I
- can't seem to find the article so here goes...)
-
- What is the 'proper' distribution of filesystems assuming that you have
- several drives, each of (approximately) the same access times?
-
- I've got a 300MB and 2 150MB drives and I'm wondering how I should split
- out the file systems to get the best performance. (I'm getting a 600MB
- disk from work for Usenet and to keep sources on, so I'm just thinking
- about the basic stuff on the other drives...)
-
- Unix people at work suggested the following distribution:
-
- 150MB /
- 150MB /usr
- 300MB /home
-
- Any comments? Is this bad? Good? (Also recommended to have a swap
- partition on *each* drive equal to the amount of 'real' memory)
-
- Is it possible (and desirable?) to have multiple swap partitions, each on
- seperate drives?
-
- Any help you can give me would be *deeply* appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Brad.
