Hello guys/girls,

May ask you what percentage of free hard drive on LVM dev mapper volgroup00-logvol00 is safe to operate a server?

I have one server where dev mapper volgroup00-logvol00 is now at 91% full.

The tmp and boot partitions are below 40%.

Many thanks

Hi Losvre,
9% can be 100M , 10000M, 10000000000M ... all depends on the actual size of this partision which you use 91% of it ..
please provide us the out put of :

df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 810G 702G 108G 91% /
/usr/tmpDSK 1.7G 0.5G 1.2G 35% /tmp
tmp 1.7G 0.5G 1.2G 35% /var/tmp

Hi,
That what i talk about, as you can see your free space is about 108G now at that is normal in case your clients not increase g/s : )) .
anyway if you will order new servers soon try to custom your partition layout not make all data into single partition.
Good Luck

All right,

We gonna take a few accounts off actually.

Why you think multiple partitions are better? and what would be a better example of partitioning?

Many thanks

Hi Losvre,
Look, by default as i know linux come with 3 partition as default : boot , /, tmp .. and you can add more if you need. and for you question WHY cos it better from many ways : secure (can add custom privilege to each part), safe (safe other partition from being over qouta and crash the system due to free space problems) .. etc ..
about the BETTER layout , as i told you before about % , coz it same situation here. nothing is better if we dont know what you need from. if mysql servers use big /var/ partition , if file server make /home part bigger etc ..
Good Luck
