PARTITIONING RECOMMENDATION
- Thread starter FreeBASE
- Start date
Nuxy,
There was some talk about this on /.
Of the journalling filesystems(what I would use with
any database having info I need), XFS, seems to be the best
choice in terms of performance. I've always had luck with reiserfs, but it's performance was kind of embarassing in
the comparison tests run.
As far as partitioning goes..
I'd go with LVM for the database stuff so you can resize
your partitions at will. A few gigs for /usr and /var ,
apiece, a gig or two for /, and the rest LVM'd.
Good Luck
