On the site's current server, we have two 80GB hard drives... sda has just about every partition and file for running the site, and sdc is one big partition with a folder for nightly backups and another folder where mySQL runs, which is symlinked back to the main drive.
New server  was setup and the partioning is a bit odd to me... Two 73GB hard drives in this one, with the following partitions...
/dev/sda6 26G 1.7G 23G 7% /
/dev/sda1 198M 25M 163M 14% /boot
/dev/sda3 487M 8.1M 454M 2% /tmp
/dev/sdb1 50G 245M 47G 1% /home
/dev/sda2 15G 264M 14G 2% /var
/dev/sda5 26G 33M 25G 1% /backup
Just seems confusing to me...
So... /home is the only thing on the second drive? And where is the balance of that drive's space? Don't tell me 23GB disappears during formatting.
And... does it look like I can accomplish what I want with this setup? Backing up site files to the /backup folder is ok, and leaving mySQL in /var/lib at least has them on a drive separate from the front end... But not separate from the OS, etc...
