Hi,
I'm wondering what the added value is of making more partitions on a VPS besides the root and a well-sized swap partition and perhaps a third partition to (temporarily) write file-based/img based backups to in addition to the snapshots of the virtual machine itself.
Assuming the install itself is a simple server, only used as web / mail / ftp-server, with only virtual accounts added for mail and ftp users. The only real user account being able to ssh is the management-account.
What would be the added value in creating the partition-based layout if there's scripts in place run by cron to clean up not needed stuff in portstree, tmp, etc.?
It's all hosted on the SSD based storage, so there's no difference in IOPS for parts of the install.
Any thoughts ?
