I would put mysql on a separate physical machine, as io operations on a virtual disks are slow. But if you decide that the speed is not an issue, use separate partitions for: /var - so filling up the logs or var/cache does not prevent the machine from booting /var/lib/mysql (or wherever you decide to have the database) usually, if you have 1-2G of RAM dedicated to the server, you do not need swap at all, but if you need it, create it
everything else can be in one partition - usually 6G are more than enough for this.
thank you Sunny ... So other than /var and wherever mysql is could be a separate partition, with /boot and /root and /home all being part of the / partition? It makes sense to me to have a separate /var and perhaps even as you say a partition for mysql ... we plan to use the versions of programs that are in the distro, so apache/mysql .. I think by default apache puts the web home page on /home/http or something like that. Do you know where mysql is installed?
