I selected the defaults in partitioning my drive and df -h shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 18G 2.5G 15G 15% / /dev/hda1 99M 12M 82M 13% /boot none 126M 0 126M 0% /dev/shm
Now I am getting ready to install Scalix CE and it is telling me a whole story about what my partitions should be. Note that I did the install with 256Mb memory, and I may upgrade to 512Mb.
/ (root) partition of 6Gb recommended. /boot partition of 75Mb (that seems to be met) /swap partition of x2 installed memory /var partition of at least 10Gb (well that is based on a 100 users and 100mb and that is enough for me)
There is also the note:
Some versions of Linux include the Logical Volume Manager (LVM). Scalix Corporation recommends using a LVM volume for the /var partition. This enables you to increase the size of the /var partition and back up the Scalix Server without having to shut down the system.
So what do I do?
leave things alone Use a partition manager (whcih?) to adjust and create partitions Reinstall and select manual partitioning
