Mix IDE and SCSI


If you have 1 18G SCSI and 1 200G IDE. How do you partition them for FreeBSD and Linux?

Here is my idea:
/home on IDE so most read will be on IDE
/var /usr on SCSI so most write will be on SCSI.

With the possible exception of /usr/local, /usr should be read-only. With 218 GB to work with, I'm not sure anything but /var needs to be on the SCSI drive.

do you know where MySQL read and write data?
is it in /var/db or something?

on linux it is /var/lib/mysql but you can change that in the my.cnf


imysql is not a bad idea to be on its own drive, especially if it will be a busy server. That is really the only big thing that could use its own drive.
