I'm about to set up a Server which will be running
Samba, CAP and Apache (among other things).

Now I've got a 2Gb and a 4Gb disk, so how do I partition them ?

It's not quite as easy as I thought, the main problem is that
I am going to have a lot of users throwing large multimedia
files about the place and I would prefer it if peoples
home directories (and the Samba directories) weren't on the
same disk as the Web pages I want to serve.

Other than that, this also has to be a print server, so I'm
going to need some huge amount of spool space (no idea how
much, but I was expecting 200Mb might be a reasonable amount).

If anyone has experience, or just any clue about how to split
this all up for decent performance please let me know.

Steve..
