masatheesh,

Are you talking about the slice of the file system you need for the installation?

/boot ----> you can make this as low as 100MB
/tmp -----> 500 MB or 330 MB will do.
/opt ------> make sure you use LVM for this one. So that you can increase the space it in the future.
swap ------> (Total Mem x 2)+2
/ -----> make sure that you use LVM or mirror disk for this one.

Also plan for the filesystem to use (xfs /jfs /reiserfs / ext3). google those things and see the most applicable for your DB server.
