OS FileSystem Sizes

[Steve Valvasori]

I just want to tack on one thing that Geoff touched on in his post. You should ensure that /var/adm/crash has enough space, preferably it's own FS. Nothing sucks more than management asking why a box paniced, and you don't have a complete dump to analyze.

hi aaron,

Our main file systems on our production servers have been configured as follows:

home/yd> /home/yd/bdfmegs
File System Mbytes Used Avail %Used Mounted on
/dev/vg00/lvol3 200 96 103 48% /
/dev/vg00/lvol1 288 52 207 20% /stand
/dev/vg00/lvol8 4096 912 3161 22% /var
/dev/vg00/lvol7 2048 1027 1013 50% /usr
/dev/vg00/lvol4 1024 6 1013 1% /tmp
/dev/vg00/lvol6 2048 1242 800 61% /opt
/dev/vg00/lvol5 400 162 237 41% /home
home/yd>

Again, you will see that we have oversized our /var and /tmp.

In fact, we use very little of our Internal disks space for keeping our Enterprise data. Our Internal disks are used for OS and OS-related applications only.
