[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] RE: [FW1] Partition for Solaris
I said to make the rest of the disk for logs and symbolic link them. Besides, I have filled up my root disk many times and while there are some things you can't do, the system has never crashed. Are we better having 1.5 GB free for the root partition (my scenario) or 25 MB free (the normal separate partition scenario)?

What happens when you get hit with say a DoS Attack, and the FW is logging, logging away. Until it just crashes, because *all* available disk space is used. In my opinion, this is just trouble waiting to happen. You would be better off keeping separate partitions. ~Doug -----Original Message----- From: James Edwards [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2000 9:26 AM To: 'Brian Tan Wee Beng'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [FW1] Partition for Solaris This is almost a religious debate. Some people say you should partition all the separate OS file systems (/ /opt /var /usr /export/home swap) into their own partitions and some say just make it one big chunk with the only thing separate being swap. I used to be one of the former persuasion until I tried the latter and I am convinced that is the way to go, especially on something like a firewall where you don't have users logging in to the operating system. With the days of having to shoehorn a 1 GB operating system into a 1 GB disk behind us, I take the normal 18 GB disk drive and use 4 GB for the root partition (full install of Solaris 8 needs about 2.3 GB) , double my memory (or use a minimum of 2 GB) for the swap partition and make the rest for logs. You can do symbolic link to anywhere you like for the log directory. I would also set up a periodic log switch, move your old logs somewhere else and compress them. This works very well for me.
