					<h2>Resolution</h2>
					We cannot give any exact numbers, however, you should take into account the following. <br /><br />Plesk for Linux OSes stores all users' data in /var partition by default, so the partitioning should be like:<br /><br />SWAP -&gt; twice RAM size<br />/boot -&gt; 128 MB<br />/ -&gt; System + Plesk, updates. 5-10 GB should be enough.<br />/tmp -&gt; 1GB.<br />/var -&gt; the rest of the space (domains, mail, backups, databases are stored there)<br /><br />Directories that usually take much disk space:<br /><br />/var/www/vhosts (/srv/vhosts on SuSE) - domains.<br />/var/qmail - mail.<br />/var/lib/mysql - Mysql databases.<br />/var/lib/psa/dumps - Plesk clients'/domains' backups.<br />/var/lib/pgsql/data - Postgres databases.<br />/var/tomcat* - Tomcat applications.<br />/var/lib/mailman - Mailman lists.<br /><br />Please check file <a href="http://kb.parallels.com../en/952">/etc/psa/psa.conf</a> for all other directories used by Plesk control panel.<br /><br />Plesk Contorl Panel under FreeBSD uses the /usr/local partition for storing large quantity of data and /var/db partition for databases.<br />So the /usr and /var partitions have to be larger  in this case.<br /><br />On Debian and Ubuntu, Plesk itself is located in /opt/psa.<br /><br />Currently supported operating systems can be found on the product requirements page at <a href="http://kb.parallels.comhttp://www.parallels.com/en/products/plesk/reqs">http://www.parallels.com/en/products/plesk/reqs</a>.
