Partitioning Scheme

[Chloé Desoutter]

Hi Brad,

No more /kolab for Kolab 3.

There shouldn't be a /swap. swap is not mounted.

Depending on your amount of RAM, /tmp should be a tmpfs (512MB is enough 
often)

/var/spool/imap should definitely be separate. It's the directory that 
contains all your precious data (IMAP folders)

Separating /boot is useless nowadays unless your server is very old or 
you use an exotic filesystem for /.

If I were you I'd not separate the /var partition. MySQL activity is 
quite low with Kolab, dirsrv (389 DS) is much more solicited.

Mounting /var/spool/imap with relatime or noatime will help. Depending 
on the criticality of your data, you could perform further tuning of the 
/var/spool/imap mount options.

Yours sincerely,
