[server-admins] what's left on root?

[DM Smith]

The wiki (not it's data) is at /usr/share/mediawiki. What is there is 
the configuration of the wiki. It is pointed to by 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/mediawiki.conf.
There may be other stuff under /usr/share that is important to keep.

/etc/httpd/conf.d is pretty important.
/etc/init.d has some stuff that might be important to preserve. E.g. 
/etc/init.d/tomcat, sitestart.sh
There may be a lot of other config stuff under /etc that should be 
preserved. Such as groups, passwords, ....
Maybe /etc should be it's own mount point? (Create a partition on 
/dev/sdb, copy /etc to it, and mount that as /etc)

You might consider moving /tmp to minimize writes.

Couldn't figure out which drive had swap, but that could be moved to sdb 
also (if not there already). Likewise for tmpfs, /proc, ....
