[SOLVED] who can tell me the best plan for making partition.

[freed1985]

I`m a new user for ispCP and linux.

Now I have a server with 2G memory and 500G space.

I want to use CentOS to install ispCP.

But I don`t know which plan for making partitions is best.

Who can tell me a plan for making partitions on CentOS to install ispCP for a webhosting.

First of all, if you are planning to use ispcp it is advisable to use debian instead of centos, as the latter is not as well supported (all devs use debian, so centos is community-maintained).

Nevertheless, there are 5 important "sets of files" in ispcp:

- /boot : boot files, plain ext3 recommended.
- /etc : system configurations
- /var/www : panel and fcgi configurations
- /var/www/virtual : users websites (big)
- /var/mail/virtual : users emails (big)

Knowing this, you can setup any partition scheme you want. To avoid future headeaches about partition sizes, I simply partition as in:
1 small (200mb) primary ext3 partition for /boot
1 big primary (everything else) partition as lvm (for the snapshot feature), that contains:
1 big (everything) ext3 logical volume for /

Oh,Thank you.
The IDC of my server can`t install debian.

So,I can only install CentOS or FreeBSD.
But I`m a new user for Linux,FreeBSD is hard for me.

So you should choose CentOS. It´s hard to say for me because i like FreeBSD more but it make absolute no sense to use FreeBSD without any skills.

First of all,I`m a new user for linux.Very very new.
I tried FreeBSD for a little time.
Now,it`s too hard for me.
Thank you for your mind.
I`m studying FreeBSD now.When I`m skilled at FreeBSD.
I want to change my system to it.

Newbies best use Debian for Servers.

For partition scheme, something like this:
30% /
50 MB /boot
1.5x RAM size /tmp
~70% /var
