reccomended layout would really depend on the server use, for instance, if it's a web server you would likely allow a lot of space in /var/www, if it's a file server or mail server then this would also have a bearing on your layout.<br />
<br />
for your last question the initial size would be 8gb but would then grow to fill the disk whatever that may be. you could use maxsize to limit this as in the example above.

I want to slice up a &nbsp;150GB hard disk that is mirrored in hardware &nbsp;can someone recommend a good generic partition layout that I can add to a kickstart file.<br />

I would like to use volume groups. &nbsp;Please explain why you have used the recommended layout. &nbsp;<br />

volume groups and linux setup

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.
