[SLUG] Partition advice

[Peter Rundle <prundle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sluggers,

If you had a new scsi based server at your disposal :-) and were looking 
at how to partition it up before installing a
flavour of Linux, what would you do? Ok, so a bit of a how long is a bit 
of string Q, some more info.

System has hardware raid with six drives. Two 36Gb and four 72Gb. Idea 
is to mirror two 36's as the system disk
and the other 4 in a raid 5 for data. System will be a bit of a jack of 
all trades but primarily a Postgres database server
with a large amount of data of which relatively small amounts will be 
served out using Apache and Php. Could also
end up being a mail server, and samba server maybe with a couple of 
dozen user accounts.

TIA's

Pete
