I would like to treat it as a production box......and install packages....other software...etc. Rather not just put it all as /.
Aren't u required to have other partitions?(/var, /usr, /swap...etc?)
What are these default partitions mainly used for....which one should be the largest, second largest, and so on. (I know it matters what the box is going to be used for which will probrably determine this).
Eventually I would like to learn how to make this a general web server(file server).
How would you set the partitions largest to smallest? Should/can I incorporated the second disk with the installation (/var, /usr/) or leave it as /export/home/extra for large files or extra storage?
I have no clue, but I would rather learn now then having to keep reinstalling and setting up new partitions each time I run out of room.
Thanks in advance....
