I am returning to freebsd FreeBSD after some time away (last used v7) and I have some questions.
First, I am setting up a server machine for personal use. I will be the only one using it.
I appreciate any additional advice and insight into proper partitioning.
Thank you!
First, I am setting up a server machine for personal use. I will be the only one using it.
- There will be no other OS on the machine and no VMs. Which mode do I use: BSD, GUID, etc?
- I want the following partitions for safety and imaging reasons.
- /
- /boot
- /home
- /usr
- /tmp
- /var
- /var/log (yes, I want log to have its own partition since things other than logs go in var)
- Do I need to define than in a particular order?
- What sizes should I give each? The disk is 918G in size. I have 6GB RAM installed. For things like / and /boot, please state reasoning for the size given, such as: "twice your RAM".
I appreciate any additional advice and insight into proper partitioning.
Thank you!
