I got an additional piece of advise from Hannes Visagie which I include
below, since it is fairly comprehensive.

> var 1 Gig {360 MB Absolute minimum} Note, 1 Gig is even to small for rolling

> member root 128 MB
> member swap 128 MB
> member boot 1 MB
> quorum disk 1 MB.

> The above recommended sizes are not OK if you want to do a rolling upgrade.

> Our current space used
> root 240 MB, standard Unix installation with one coredump file.
> root 105 MB, rm the core file.
> So take 250 * 2, depending on size of kernel core * 30% should leave you

> usr is 1.7 Gig used. A lot of GNU extra software + 600 MB Informix + Informix
> CD's, but no data files.
> 3 gig should be fine.

> var 1 Gig used, Some extra RRD Database files taking 400 MB. Ours is 1.5,

>
> So my recommendations is
> root 1 Gig
> usr 2.5 to 3 Gig
> var 2 Gig
> home at least 2 Gig
> extra FS/RAW for database data
> extra FS for database software {Oracle 8.17 needs at least 2.5 Gig, Informix
> 500 MB}
> extra FS for apps software
> swap 2 * current memory
> separate FS for /tmp

> Hope it helps
