If that is all, then don't make a separate /home.

Sorry, temp = temporary or soft and hard means permanent failure. Soft fail means try again.

Given above, I suggest 10.000 for /var and a 5.000 /usr and what is left from /home going to /var/spool/imap. > > I agree with you that is needed more memory, and more disk space, I'll > work to upgrade the hardware. Memory, I don't know...from what I have gathered, 256MB should be ok. Disks, I would suggest at least two disks and running them mirrored so that you don't lose everything if a disk should die. > > Would be recommended to separate /var/logs/ and /var/spool/mqueue/ in > different partitions too? or is enough with separate only /var/. I think a 10GB /var should be sufficient. With 2k users, you should not get large compressed logs.
