Need help with a partitioning scheme - uni assignment
Suggest a partitioning scheme for a stand-alone in a small
organization running an Email routing and delivery service (SMTP)
and web deployment environment via (HTTP). The machine has two
250gb hard discs and supports 100 users.
Users each get their own 15 megabyte mailbox and have a personal
web space which can be seen from the internet. A quota of 20
megabytes exists on the web space for each user. Each
user also has a home directory with a maximum quota of 50 megabytes.
The organization also has a web tree (site) as well as source code
tree managed by a CVS like tool (Code Versioning System). It
should be noted that this organization is a software house thus
code is important. The organization has a number of local and
application specific binaries which also need to be kept somewhere
(You can assume the internal pathing information of these binaries can be changed).
In your response you should consider things such as;
1. Logs kept by services.
2. Where email and web pages are stored.
3. File system performance issues.
4. Scalability
5. Backup regimes.
The server is running Solaris.
I've already got a few different ideas, but I would like to see what some experts would do in this situation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
