Question : More musings on new HD--/var/named partition!?
|
|
I just got a new 160GB HD and I am planning to run freeBSD exclusively. I am also planning to do DNS/BIND and I was reading about the security feature of using chroot and having BIND run on /var/named. THerefore, I am wondering how to partition my new HD.
FIrst of all, doesn't /var have logging info? THerefore, I might want a bigger /var partition,right? Also, maybe I should make an additional partition for the /var/named directory. If so, how big should that be?

The following values are already quite generous and should suffice for any situation (you should create them in this order for the optimal speed):
/ 250MB swap 250MB /var 10GB /usr 15GB /home the rest
You'll use /home the most for mp3's, movies, etc anyway...
