what are the best practices for zfs root file system var, swap size and dump size

edited Mar 9, 2016 4:04AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

I have a v445 and am installing solaris 10.  I'm using zfs as the root since I am getting more experience with it.

With the UFS file systems, I made swap about 8-10G on a mysql server with 32G memory, and var was a separate partition.

Now I see in the zfs install it is asking if var should be separate from root, and I said yes.

Then it asked for the sizes for the swap and dump file systems.  

What are the best practices for swap and dump files system sizes please?  Also, I read a post on putting var in a separate from root so you can set quotas on it.

Howdy, Stranger!
