Need guidance for Hard disk partitions for squid server.
Hi,
To use squid i want to install linux in my 200 GB hard disk. I need guidance regarding to installation phase. A server which will be dedicated for squid proxy what things should I keep while installing my red hat linux operating system.I mean the partition sizes for swap ,root ,boot and any partion for squid cache should I need during making partitions ? thanks for help garden |
well if I do as
boot - 100-150M / - 200M /usr - 50G /tmp - 2G /var - 100G (since squid is going to store lost of caching files) /home - Rest of the space what is your opinion ? |

hey do you have like a 40GByte drive laying around? Unless you're running Varnish or Squid in front of a facebook or IBM I don't see you needing .2 TB But then again, storage is cheap ;) /boot = 2GB (ext2) SWAP = 4GB (type 82) / = the rest (XFS) - unless you really have a need to save your /usr/local /usr/src /usr/share /var /opt and /home dirs on separate partitions, in which case you might want a partition to mount your /home /opt /usr and /var directories, and maybe even break out /usr/*** into the dirs shown above. All you're doing is caching html pages and other small items, for the most part. And I certainly wouldn't use Redhat - arggh! If you really find that you *must* use an RPM based distro, then I recommend you look at CentOS - otherwise, man up and use Debian, Arch, or Slackware ;) Hope that helps :) |
