Hi,

I have just got a new dedicated server with Plesk v11.0.9 installed and the datacentre has partitoned the HDD as follows:
Partition "/" utilization 14.6% used (718 MB of 4.81 GB)
Partition "/boot" utilization 4.1% used (81.5 MB of 1.92 GB)
Partition "/home" utilization 0% used (198 MB of 393 GB)
Partition "/tmp" utilization 2.8% used (138 MB of 4.81 GB)
Partition "/usr" utilization 8.5% used (2.46 GB of 28.8 GB)
Partition "/var" utilization 5.7% used (558 MB of 9.6 GB)
Partition "sda" data transfer 0 B
Partition "sdb" data transfer 0 B

the operating system is CentOS6.3(final) 64 bit, is the partioning correct, since the other CentOS machine i ahve at another datacentre doesnt have so many partitions?

Appreciate all help

Thnaks

Thanks Igor, does that apply to Plesk v 11 also, and in your opinion is the partitioning correct???
 
Yes, this article is actual for Plesk 11 too. I think that size of /var partition should be bigger in your case.
 
Thanks Igor, I have been given to understand by the datacentre that the website content, mails, etc will be stored in the "/home" partition. If that's the case then do i still need more space on the "/var" partition ???
 
Look at this output:

# grep var /etc/psa/psa.conf

HTTPD_VHOSTS_D /var/www/vhosts
HTTPD_LOG_D /var/log/apache2
QMAIL_ROOT_D /var/qmail
PLESK_MAILNAMES_D /var/qmail/mailnames
FTPD_VAR_D /var/run/proftpd
FTPD_SCOREBOARD /var/run/proftpd_scoreboard
NAMED_RUN_ROOT_D /var/named/run-root
MYSQL_VAR_D /var/lib/mysql
PGSQL_DATA_D /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main
DUMP_D /var/lib/psa/dumps
MAILMAN_VAR_D /var/lib/mailman
CATALINA_HOME /var/lib/tomcat6
Click to expand...


As you can see from Plesk configuration file a lot of data stored on /var partition - sites content, mails, databases, logs and so on.
 
Thnx Igor, I have had the datacentre reformat the HDD as per the KB article, thanks once again for all the help
