Partitioning /tmp

[ASTRAPI]

Hello

I was read the manual about installing the cpanel (in my case vps optimized) and i was read this:

/tmp 1 GB (1024 MB)
/ Grow to fill disk.

Do you recomend me to do this /tmp partition?

As a new user i want some help please on how can i partition my openvz vps please.


Another one was recomend me this:

Following are recommended partition on cpanel virtual private servers

/boot 35 Megabytes (Mb)

/usr 2048+ Mb (If you have a 60 gig drive try 4096 for /usr, 5000 if you have an 80 gig drive, etc.)

/var 1500+ Mb

/tmp 512+ Mb

/ 1024 Mb

/home grow to fill disk

swap 2x memory size

And ofcource i am confused with all these partitions and i don't know if i need them or not.

Thanks

The first partitioning scheme comes from our Quick-Start Installation Guide and the second partitioning scheme comes from our Advanced Installation Guide. I recommend only using the second scheme if you are familiar with managing so many partitions. Otherwise, use the first partitioning scheme.

It is a good idea to have /tmp on its own partition in a shared hosting environment.

I will need someone to show me how to do the second partition.....

Is it possible to have someone from here to help me?

Thanks

Partitioning is typically done when installing your operating system. How to create or modify your partitions will vary depending on which operating system you use. Here is a link to the CentOS manual on creating partitions. If you're using CentOS or RedHat Enterprise, you'll probably be using 'disk druid' (dd) to modify paritions:
