Hello, I'm new to FreeBSD and this list, my name is Donnacha, I'm an Irishman living in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have read The Complete FreeBSD's section on disk partioning but would very much appreciate some advice on how to divide up the 2 HDDs I'm getting on my new server. The server is located in a facility in the US and will be used as a Web and email server. It has an 80GB HDD and a 200GB HDD, both IDE but I'm asking for them to be placed on seperate buses. I was thinking of using the 80GB as the primary and placing / on it, while putting /var, /usr and /home on the 200GB. I'll have 2GB of RAM, so, I was thinking about putting 2GB of swap on each HDD. How does that sound. I would be very grateful for any advice you can give me before I relay my instructions to the guys doing the installation. Thanks and I look forward to participating in this community, Donnacha
