How's this partition table for my server?

How's this partition table for my server?  Web/DNS/DHCP/Mail Server.

hdd1: ~8gb total

/boot - 100mb
swap - 1gb
/ - rest of drive

hdd2: ~155gb total

/var - whole drive

This is a Compaq ProLiant 5500 server with 10 drives.  Will most things be installed inside /var or what?

Re: How's this partition table for my server?

Web/DNS/DHCP/Mail Server.

Web = /srv
DNS = /var
DHCP = /var
Mail = Depends which package you use. I use postfix and told it to use /srv

I would half your swap, reduce /var and put the extra space into /srv

Also create a separate /tmp and /home to prevent accidental or deliberate DoS attacks by filling your / partition

Here's what I use on my Web / DNS / FTP server:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda             493M  176M  317M  36% /
/dev/xvdc             31M   674K  29M    3% /boot
/dev/lvmData-home     62M   26M   34M   44% /home
/dev/lvmData-usr      2.0G  848M  1.1G  45% /usr
/dev/lvmData-tmp      496M  20M   451M   5% /tmp
/dev/lvmData-srv      1.5G  769M  667M  54% /srv
/dev/lvmData-var      496M  231M  241M  49% /var
/dev/lvmData-pacman   384M  303M  82M   79% /var/cache/pacman
/dev/lvmData-backup   5.5G  4.6G  565M  90% /mnt/backup
