<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>Ok...Thanks..I see my errors and will change the syntax, also I may chop down the /tmp and add more to a /? is there such a thing as /storage. If I do the following.</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>sdb0 2gig /var sdb1 1gig /tmp sdb2 1gig /? (storage) maybe this sounds better. What partition name is used for a storage partition? </FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>I also thought of the following changes.</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>sda /swap sdb0 2gig /var sdb1 1gig /tmp </FONT></STRONG></P>

<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>So how does this line-up sound? sde is the newest drive and the bus ends with the cd-rom.</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>Well anyways it will be on a LAN and I can use other systems for additional storage.</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P>If you have lots of space left over I also tend to create a "scratch"<BR>parition which is useful for benchmarking, storing ISO's, using as a<BR>staging area for making CD/DVD's or for a temp storage place if I want<BR>to re-arrange my filesystems.<BR><BR>I'd also put swap on the FASTEST drive you have, as if your system<BR>gets low on ram and starts swapping to a slow disk, performance suffers<BR>even more so.</P>
<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>Well all the disks are the same speed 7200rpm, its just that the little (around 500mb) one is new and will do just fine as a swap drive I thought.</FONT></STRONG></P>
