Editing SolarisFilesystemLayout

Best Practices: * / root filesystem also includes //usr/ because your machine will not boot without both * root filesystem is the required size for Solaris + 50% (guess: 3G) * Only Solaris is installed on the root filesystem * swap is 2x the size of RAM in the machine at a minimum, but make it larger because ** running out of memory is catastrophic, and ** applications might possibly need a lot of memory, OR ** they may make use of substantial amounts of //tmp/ which shares space with swap * //var/ is 4G or larger if necessary for the applicaton * //local/ is the rest of the disk * //usr/local/ is lofs mounted or symlinked to //local/ * //export/home/, is symlinked to //local/home/ == Example == Total disk cylinders available: 24620 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 0 - 2177 3.00GB (2178/0/0) 6292242 1 swap wu 2178 - 4355 3.00GB (2178/0/0) 6292242 2 backup wu 0 - 24619 33.92GB (24620/0/0) 71127180 3 var wu 4356 - 7259 4.00GB (2904/0/0) 8389656 4 home wm 7260 - 24619 23.91GB (17360/0/0) 50153040 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 Category: SolarisCategory HowtoCategory
