I have to install NETWORK Automation on a linux server with 140GB HDD and 16 GB RAM,what should be the directories partition?

Shamsher,

If you set the system up as LVM you can grow the partitions if you leave space behind. Also suggest doing a test install to find out the desired layout, but based on install documentation.

Dont know about NETWORK Automation however it probably will reside in either /usr or /opt. You may need to concern yourself with SELinux if you install in the wrong location - SELinux is a bit of a pain!

Using LVM you can establish logical volumes for /usr and /opt and say starting at 8GB grow them if required.

/boot say 256MB (this has to be ext3 non LVM)
swap say 4GB (you have 16GB ram so probably
LVM partitions:
/ (root) say 4GB
/usr say 8GB
/var say 10GB
/opt say 8GB
dont need too much swap!).
/home say 4GB (keep users off / )
/tmp say 5GB (in case NETWORK uses temp).

Thats 39GB of LVM which can expand if required to the remainder of the disk if needed.
