centos install / partitioning
- by ServerSideX
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-swap swap swap defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
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.
