I'm using NOC-PS to remotely install Centos 6.2 via KVM / IPMI.

I'm going to install cPanel as well and they recommend this layout

/boot (99MB)
swap (2x server RAM)
/ (remainder)

In the o/s install profile within NOC-PS software, it shows as this:

part /boot --fstype ext2 --size 250
part pv.01 --size 1 --grow
volgroup vg pv.01
logvol / --vgname=vg --size=1 --grow --fstype ext4 --fsoptions=discard,noatime --name=root
logvol /tmp --vgname=vg --size=1024 --fstype ext4 --fsoptions=discard,noatime --name=tmp
logvol swap --vgname=vg --recommended --name=swap

By the time the default partition setup was done installing Centos, I get this

[root@server005 ~]# df -h

/dev/mapper/vg-root   532G  907M  504G   1% /

proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0

My question is, how should the NOC-PS install profile look like to get the recommended cPanel partitioning?

The server has 16GB RAM, dual 600GB SAS drives and will be used for cPanel shared hosting.
