Just wanted to throw in, that on servers I also create a separate |
| 9 |
/var/log partition. Reasoning: If your logs fill up /var, than for ex. |
| 10 |
mysql won't be able to write anymore. So to decouple systems and |
| 11 |
problems even further I have /var and /var/log on separate partitions, |
| 12 |
hoping for higher service availability. |
