Hi,
I am about to move our corporate system from Interactive Unix to Linux. I
could use some advice on setting the disk layout so that the users do not
see the difference. On Interactive we have the following layout.
/ 50M
/usr 100M
/usr1 245M
/usr2 245M
/usr3 245M
/usr4 245M
/usr5 523M
/hist 523M
/cusr1 210M
/cusr2 210M
/cusr3 210M
/cusr4 210M
All these are partitions and as a result we have to worry about one getting
full and another having room. The users do not know much except things like
"my data is on /usr2." Also that is too many partitions for one drive under
Linux (I think). What would be your opinion of a disk (4gig) layout such as:
swap 64M
/ 3.5gig with all the above as directories under /
/var 250M
/home 250M
Any suggestions which help keep the layout the user sees looking the same
would help.
Thanks,
Jim
