Dear All, I am new to Debian and Koha, Can you guide me for space allocation in Debian Partition? I will be using only one operating System: Debian 6.0.5 (Squeeze); and the system is dedicated for Koha 3.8.3; Hard disk space is: 320 GB, RAM: 2GB Could you please guide me for meaningful partitioning of Debian. /(root) = ? /boot =? /usr =? /var =? /opt =? /tmp =? /backup for koha-data (manually created) =? Thank You. Ram. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/help-for-debian-partition-for-koha-tp57231... Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Not really. It's a matter of judgement. If you'd like to take a go, there's a whole appendix in the Debian installation guide at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apcs03.html.en or the equivalent for your system. "For new users, personal Debian boxes, home systems, and other single-user setups, a single / partition (plus swap) is probably the easiest, simplest way to go. However, if your partition is larger than around 6GB, choose ext3 as your partition type." (I think this is what debian's installer tries to do, too.) "In general, the partitioning situation varies from computer to computer depending on its uses." There is also a link to the Multi-Disk HOWTO which goes into much more detail. I'd not worry about it too much, make some reasonable guess and put it in your diary (or the task scheduler) to check how much disk is actually being used.
