Squid Cache drives? |

That would be about the only thing I would trust dodgy hardware to do. |

/var/log I really wouldn't recommend, if your logging partition dies, and |
| 6 |
logs can't be written, I'm not exactly sure what would happen, but I doubt |
| 7 |
it would be good. |

Mail is also typically kept in /var/spool so I wouldn't put that on there |
| 10 |
either. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
If possible (and if the drives support it) try and extract the number of |
| 13 |
power on hours out of the drive, along with the number of start/stop cycles |
| 14 |
and media errors (there is a package for Linux.. smartmon-tools? Something |
| 15 |
like that anyway). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If the drives are in good shape for their age you MIGHT consider using them |
| 18 |
for something slightly more important than squid space, though ideally why |
| 19 |
don't you put them in a raid mirror and get some redundancy happening. |

Hi all, |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
i am building a very old server (two dual pentium 100), and i have some old |
| 32 |
hdds from '96.. I am not sure, who long they will stay alive, and they have |
| 33 |
only 2GB.. Is there a place in Linux, where i can use them, whitout losing |
| 34 |
important data? /var/log/? /var/spool/? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
TIA! |

Best regards, |
