Moving directories to their own partitions
Greetings everyone,
After reading the Debian install and security howtos, I've decided that I should move /var, /usr and /tmp to their own partitions, using the Knoppix home directory howto as a guide. Thing is, I don't know how my fstab should look like and how big the partitions should be.
I would like to ask for input for the layout I plan (below).
Partition sizes:
/tmp – 50 mb (or 500?)
/var – 3 gb (or 2?)
/usr – 4 gb
/ – 500 mb
Am I on the right track? Are these partition sizes okay or are they excessive? This computer is the one I'll be using for home. In the future I do plan on setting it up to host web pages as well.
fstab additions:
/dev/hda9 /usr ext2 rw 0 2
/dev/hda6 /tmp ext2 rw 0 2
/dev/hda7 /var ext2 rw 0 2
Do these entries look okay? Or should it be:
/dev/hda9 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /tmp ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 /var ext2 defaults 1 2
I don't know what the numbers at the end mean... I just took these from various sample I found in LQ and Google.
Any thoughts?
