Hello Peter,
thanks for putting me on the right track.
I partitioned a testing machine accordingly.
[root at minas2 ~]# df -h
Bestandssysteem Grtte Gebr Besch Geb% Aangekoppeld op
/dev/mapper/vg_minas2-LogVol00
49G 753M 45G 2% /
tmpfs 3,9G 0 3,9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 485M 32M 429M 7% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_minas2-LogVol02
9,7G 150M 9,0G 2% /home
/dev/mapper/vg_minas2-LogVol04
9,7G 150M 9,0G 2% /ldap
/dev/mapper/vg_minas2-LogVol05
49G 180M 46G 1% /mailserver
/dev/mapper/vg_minas2-LogVol03
9,7G 150M 9,0G 2% /openvpn
anticipating the creation of an openvpn - ldap - and mailserver.
Greetings, J.
