Partition Requirements

[jim.thornton]

I have a 50G VPS that I'm installing DA onto. In the support section of the website, it shows a simple partition setup and a "not simple" partition setup.

What is the recommended breakdown for this size VPS?

mount everything to / with lvm then you can increase its size later

That's not that simple to give you a valid reply. You should give us more information on what kind sites you are going to host there so we could advise. Generally you could start with s single partition for / (as suggested by scsi) + /tmp

But I'd rather have "not simple" partition setup with minimal values for the size of partitions from the example http://directadmin.com/install.html

I decided to go with the not simple setup so that I can secure /tmp and /home.

I have it under LVM so I can just adjust it later if I need to increase one of the partitions, right?

Yes, right. That sounds reasonable.
