Unfortunate (not to say dumb) partitioning of my harddisk now forces me to expire most news after 1 day. I plan to repartition my 320MB drive containing SCO XENIX/386, with 1K filesystem in the near future, and need some tips on it: - How much MB I should reserve for a /usr/spool disk wich contains 14 days of news (/usr/spool/news) and UUCP spool files (when receiving news in /usr/spool/uucp)? - How much MB should there be free on the root filesystem? - Should I create any other virtual disks? (/tmp or /usr/tmp f.e.) The main application is a BBS with 9 telephone lines, maintaining a few large, slowly expanding C-ISAM files. Informix is used to update the files on line, and there are a large number of fairly static download files. Any tips are welcome! Richard (...!mcvax!neabbs!richard)
