Quick question about how much space to use for ISPconfig install

Hi,

I followed "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 14.04 (Apache2, PHP, MySQL, PureFTPD, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)"
On my dedicated server panel I have option to chose how much space for / partition /home partition and /swap
So I modified it like this:

Code:

root@linux:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2        241G  4.0G  225G   2% /
udev             16G  4.0K   16G   1% /dev
tmpfs           3.2G  944K  3.2G   1% /run
none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none            5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
none             16G     0   16G   0% /run/shm
none            100M     0  100M   0% /run/user
/dev/md3        1.6T   71M  1.5T   1% /home
root@linux:~# 

But ISPconfig installs websites on / instead of /home where there's plenty of space.
How do I tell now ISPconfig to use /home for everything?

TIA

 

Thanks for the reply!

I'm moving to a new server and this is how default template looks like:


I would like to do it right first time. Would you suggest to re-install OS and have 20GB for /home and the rest for / ?

Ubuntu official partitioning scheme "Basic Partitioning Scheme for a 2TB Desktop HDD" shows similar as my server default temple?

 

Finally found some free time to finish this new server configuration.
New server doesn't have anything on it so I don't mind reinstalling it.
What I failed to mention in my original post is that this is Xubuntu Desktop 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" (w/ XFCE + x2go) which explains desktop partitioning scheme.
Having said can I get away with not having /home partition or do I rename it from /home to /var when doing install?
What would be best to specify for size?
How would you partition it?
If I delete /home partition during fresh install then desktop user will have access to entire HD free space?

 

Ok, If you would have 2TB RAID 1 HD how much you would give to /var ? and the rest would be for / ?
After that it would look like this:
/ size ?
/var size ?
/swap size?

 

This is what I did:


and followed this tutorial https://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-...hp-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p5
now I'm stuck on this section:
Edit /etc/fstab. Mine looks like this (I added ,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 to the partition with the mount point /):
because it said mount point / and I have /var partition

Code:

root@linux:~# df --human
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2        296G  3.4G  277G   2% /
udev             16G  4.0K   16G   1% /dev
tmpfs           3.2G  936K  3.2G   1% /run
none            4.0K     0  4.0K   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
none            5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
none             16G     0   16G   0% /run/shm
none            100M     0  100M   0% /run/user
/dev/md3        1.5T  784M  1.5T   1% /var
root@linux:~# 

Here's my default fstab

Code:

# <file system>    <mount point>    <type>    <options>    <dump>    <pass>
/dev/md2    /    ext4    errors=remount-ro,relatime    0    1
/dev/md3    /var    ext4    defaults,relatime    1    2
/dev/sda4    swap    swap    defaults    0    0
/dev/sdb4    swap    swap    defaults    0    0
proc        /proc    proc    defaults        0    0
sysfs        /sys    sysfs    defaults        0    0
devtmpfs    /dev    devtmpfs    rw    0    0

Do I add it to /dev/md3 like this?

Code:

# <file system>    <mount point>    <type>    <options>    <dump>    <pass>
/dev/md2    /    ext4    errors=remount-ro,relatime    0    1
/dev/md3    /var    ext4    defaults,relatime,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0    1    2
/dev/sda4    swap    swap    defaults    0    0
/dev/sdb4    swap    swap    defaults    0    0
proc        /proc    proc    defaults        0    0
sysfs        /sys    sysfs    defaults        0    0
devtmpfs    /dev    devtmpfs    rw    0    0

Or to make it simple I get rid of other partition and have just this?






Thanks!

 

Thanks for the reply! I ended up removing /home partition completely and just leaving / and /swap
In the future I should not have issues with running out of space.
