/boot <- 25 mb swap <- 1 GB (server has 1 gb ram) / <- 2 GB /usr/local <- 500 MB /home <- The rest
1) /var is on the root volume (/), which is 2 GB in size. Ofcourse, when the system is under attack or some other reason /var fills up, my / is full and this could lead to a dangerous situation (not being able to log in anymore). Also the logs are on the same volume. Would it be wise to create under /home for example /home/system/logs and let /var/log be a symlink to that?
2) /tmp can fill up too. I would consider mounting /tmp with tmpfs, 512 MB in size, is that enough for server purposes? (Web/mail/general purpose)
I would definitely recommend that you break out /var and /tmp to be their own partitions. --Matt
