Partitioning Woes

Who partitions servers like this? A braindead hosting provider,
that's who.

Filesystem  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sd1     16G  1.5G   13G  10% /
/dev/sd3    4.8G  275M  4.3G   6% /var
/dev/sd2    246G  564M  233G   1% /home
/dev/sd0     99M   18M   77M  19% /boot

I mean think about it.../tmp, /usr/local, and /usr are all lumped
into the root partiton. /boot is tiny, given that this is a 300GB
disk, and on CentOS (this is a CentOS 5.3 dedicated server) that
tiny /boot will fill up after a few kernel upgrades - since the old
kernels and related files hang around unless you delete them. And
5GB for /var? Again, it's a 300GB disk...meant to be used as a
web/database server - you could be a bit more generous here. While
we're at it, LVM would be nice. Sheesh.
