Partition size calculations
Hi guys,
I have an V100 server and I'm about to install solaris 8 on it (I have 10 on currently but most of my work is on 8 so I'm going to that).
It would be easy for me to post system specs and get a recommendation, but what I'd like is to know HOW to calculate so that I can set up other systems in the future.
Can someone please help?
Many thanks,
Stin
