Hi all
I noticed IPA install the DS on /var/lib/dirsrv. My question is: do you think it is necessary a dedicated filesystem to host the ldap database?
I thought a dedicated file-system only for /var
thank you

All of /var? I doubt it. What is the goal, performance? Easier administration? Less risk of catastrophic loss?
You might also want to ask on the 389-ds mailing list(s) or freenode irc (#389).

The goal is avoid a directory server fault due to filesystem full. The /var FS hosts logs and backup, does not seem a good idea left all these services on the same filesystem.
Thank you
If your /var fills, lots of other things will fail too. Seems the best option here is to setup proper log rotation and alerting along with a large partition if you're worried.

Any filesystem can fill up. I had to give a wishy-washy answer because you asked specifically about /var.
If you want to ensure the db has space for itself make /var/lib/dirsrv its own disk (virtual or otherwise).

Directory Server also comes with a "Disk Monitoring" feature that will gracefully stop a server if any disk the server uses becomes full. It can also attempt to free disk space by optionally removing rotated logs, and adjusting log levels.
