I'd offer the article I wrote that came out in the July 07 issue of SysAdmin, 
but the mag gave up the ghost, and its website shows a servlet error....

Anyway, I would *STRONGLY* recommend /boot, / and swap be local (though 
preferably have swap on its own partition, if not a different drive than /). 
/u01 - using Oracle, are we? These days, it tends to wind up under /opt/oracle. 
Anyway, I'd put the rest there.

MMmm, come to think of it, I think I'd want /var local, since that includes 
things like the rpm database of packages installed on that machine.
