    I'm trying to find in depth info about the proper way to layout drives,
    slices, partions, filesystems, FHS in unix land, also in relation to
    server role types.

    I've read Chapters 2 and 3 from the FreeBSD Handbook and Chapter 16,
    from Absolute BSD but they seem to be lacking the detailed info I'm
    looking for.

    Basicly I need to know where the heck I put the 25gigs of data thats on
    are old NT server on are new FreeBSD server, In windows I'd just partion
    a drive in two (Drives C: and D:) C: for for OS and Programs and D: for
    Data but in unix the layout is hierarchical and data is stored all over
    the place (/home, /usr, /var)?
