I'm upgrading to a bigger hard drive on my RedHat 8.0 server. And I'm wiping out everything. I was wondering if anyone had any idea's on how I should structure my new hard drive. I'm going to have a media folder with all my music, movies, and software in... Then I'm going to run a webserver (for just me) and I'm going to be using Samba. I'll also be running a halflife server. The media folder is inside the webserver.. html/media... I want to keep this one organized unlike my last one...
Thanks Andy
Agree... the only other partitions that I keep seperate are /usr and /var. If you have a server where logs will be written, keeping /var seperate sometimes helps with organization (at least thats the rumor ). /usr is good to seperate if you are short on space (as I found out during my last slack install on a system with less than 1 gig).... other than that, it's really all personal preference.
