NEXT - INSTALL SOFTWARE
Partition Sizing
- Take careful note of partition sizing in the table below.
- Partition disks. Select Manual.
Please note:
- The use of separate partitions for the /home and /var folders greatly facilitates disaster recovery and system stability.
- Using the /home partition for DSpace system and data files is generally accepted Unix/Linux systems administration best practice.
- And one NEVER installs operational software in a top level folder on a Unix/Linux server.
The following partition scheme is recommended.
|
/ |
ROOT partition, where all the system software is installed |
10GB Minimum - 20GB preferred |
|
n/a |
SWAP partition |
2x installed RAM |
|
/var |
VAR partition, where all the log files and database files are installed |
10GB Minimum - 50GB preferred. This depends on how big your database index files get and how large the log files. |
|
/home |
HOME partition, where all the DSpace software files and bitstreams are stored |
All the rest of the total disk capacity. |
Example Setup for SUNScholar
- /dev/sda1 = / - is the root/system partition.
- /dev/sda2 = is the swap partition and is not listed.
- /dev/sda3 = /var - is the partition where the database and log files are stored.
- /dev/sda4 = /home - is the partition where the DSpace application and assetstore are located.
