We are running several vaxen (750s) with BSD 4.2. We are soon going
to embark on a great adventure of putting a large student population
on a couple of those.

Therefore, i am soliciting people's tricks, advice and tuning information
for running heavilly loaded vax/unices.

I would also like the answer to one immediate question...What is the 
penalty for using very large disk partitions under BSD (eg. combining
the g & h partitions on an eagle)?

Please respond to me, and i will field responses from people who are curious
what turns up.
