i make no claim to expert knowledge here but we decided the
ordinary partition layout was not useful to us. our current setup
(at least the changed and new partitions) are
SMD (1.2GB) DISKS
==================
each disk includes the following partitions (you refer to
partition P on drive D on controller C by /dev/dsk/xylCdDsP):
0: efs 3+26 /
1: raw 29+150 swap
2: efs 179+150 /tmp
3: efs 329+474 /usr
4: efs 803+800 /u0
5: efs 3+800 /u1
(for comparison:
1: raw 28+81 old swap
6: efs 109+1494 old /usr
)
we normally run multiple disk systems (4 typically) with
drives 0,1 using partitions 0,1,2,3,4 (both bootable) and
all the rest using just 4,5 for usr files. we keep /usr clear of
anything that sgi (or other vendors) put there. that way, if an engineer swings by,
we can power off our main usr drives and feel better.
