Question Recommended partition configuration for Onyx on Linux

[gbotica]

Hi,

I'm about to set up a new server (CentOS 7) with a fresh install of Plesk Onyx.

I've found two quite different recommendations for how to set up partitions.

support.plesk.com:

How should hard drive be partitioned for Plesk Linux installation?

docs.plesk.com:

Hard Drive Partitioning for Plesk

The support.plesk.com site says '/' should be 5-10GB, while the docs.plesk.com page says 20GB min, 50GB recommended -- this seems like a lot for the OS and Plesk - which is correct?

Your advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi gbotica,

the Plesk KB - article suggest less space here, while the Plesk documentation already raised it a bit, keeping in mind, that you will use as well backups and temp directories. To avoid ( possible ) issues, you should consider to follow the recommendation from the Plesk documentation = 20GB min, 50GB recommended from my point of view.

Hi Kingsley,

you seem to misunderstand something here. YOUR thread is about the server administration task to modify your RAID, while the thread - starter here ask for the ( Plesk ) recommendations, to actually avoid things that you are asking help for.

@UFHH01 So we should create 4 partition like this guide Hard Drive Partitioning for Plesk
