Partitioning a Webserver in RH 7.2 ?
What do you guys recommend as the sizes for the parition if it is planned as a normal apache webserver.
The server will host just 1 website.
Lets say I have 70 GBs to play around with.
Should the /usr or /home be the largest partition?

/boot - 8 MB
/ - Rest
I might be crazy, but if the server will only host one web site, then why worry about partitioning it into a hundred partitions?ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ

while one partition is the easiest way to go, it is not always the best solution.
Having a seperate directory for apache will offer you the following benefits:
-protection against log partition filling with DoS attack (this sounds maybe a bit silly, but there are some hackers that still use this type of attack that usually brings down the whole system due to 0 free space on the hdd partition).

ideal partitions for years of operation:
no worries of space being filled !!
/dev/hda1 / 4GB
/dev/hda2 swap 2GB
/dev/hda3 /usr 8GB
/dev/hda4 extended
/dev/hda5 /var 4GB
/dev/hda6 /tmp 2GB
/dev/hda7 /home REST of SPACE around 50gb.
since, for just 1 website, you can add another
/dev/hda8 /backup -- 25 gb [reduce /home to 25gb]
thus, you got a great system for years of operation with a backup too --
3 years already that I have stopped using /boot in a seperate partition.. no worries !!
If you are the one who cannot sleep without a seperate /boot, not more than 16MB
