4. Disk Partitioning
> So a couple of weeks ago we discussed disk partitioning. At the time
> I thought we'd madea change to the 1G disk partitioning that
> appearantly was either never made, or lost. I addition to the changes
> we discussed, I'd like to see the swap space increased from 60M to
> 140M and afs cache partition from 48M to 100M. Since this was done on
> the 500M disks ages ago I don't see a need to discuss this, and was
> hoping that if no one objected we could just make these changes.
> Anyhow, please object quickly if you have a problem with this.

I am

> Actually when I said that this had been done on the 500M disks I was
> confused, they only have 60M cache partitions. However I still think
> 100M is reasoneble. Remember that this is the sisz of the partition
> and that you need to take out space fro filesystem overhead, 10% for
> free space, and whatever leeway our we leave when we adjust the cache.
> I suspect a 100M partition would give roughly a 75M cache.
