That really depends on your application. I recommend giving a partition for=
=20
your core OS, for your app, and for its logs. You can even put these on=20
separate disks, depending on how the application deals with being separated=
=20
from its logs. So, a four disk setup with two mirrors might do the trick (o=
r=20
a six disk/three mirror setup). As for swap, that also depends on your app.=
=20
If you have a lot of ram in the server, and your application doesn't use=20
swap much, then don't add too much. However, if you use it a lot, take that=

into consideration.
