Linux Partition Schemes : Recommend - muhammed-ajmal/Install-Config GitHub Wiki

From: http://www.redhat.com/magazine/022aug06/features/webserver You can select automatic partitioning for your hard drive space, but it may not be ideal for this kind of deployment. Here is a suggested breakdown of your partitions, based on a computer with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive:

/boot 100MB / 10240MB swap 2048MB (this should be twice the system memory) /tmp 5120MB /var 133120MB (this is where the majority of your web content will be stored) /var/log 10240MB

When using the custom installer one should use the following recommended sizes:

minmum - avg folder type / location

100mb - 500mb /boot primary / beginning of disk

half ram /swap logical / end of disk

10gb - 50gb / primary / beginning of disk

rest of space /home primary / end of disk
