If you intend to put a newsspool on the disk then format it with at least 1 i-node per 3K of data rather than the default of 1 i-node per 4K data. People have been running out of i-nodes with 100's of megs free on the disk. As to partition size, make it as big as you can afford. Disk space is always useful on a Unix system and you can NEVER have too much. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John SAUNDERS - AARnet johns@rd.scitec.com.au - #include <stddisclaimer.h> | | SCITEC Communication Systems - Phone +61 2 428 9541 - Fax +61 2 418 6954 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
