Hi
I need some advice here regarding partitioning my home system.
My home system is a triple boot system: Windows 2K, Fedora 20 and
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I have three disks, one devoted to each operating system.
The first disk has two partitions, one for the OS (win2k), the rest
for data to be shared while on the other OSs including my personal
directory
The second disk has like 4 partitions (Fedora /, /boot, /home, /swap)
The third disk has only three partitions (Ubuntu /, /boot, /swap)
My plan is to get one SSD to keep the OS (both Fedora and Ubuntu).
Instead of keeping Win2k on a drive that I rarely use (just for some
games), I plan to virtualize the disk under VirtualBox.
Given that both Fedora 20 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS use grub2, my idea for
partitioning is
1. One largish /boot partition, about 1 GB, to hold both the Fedora
and Ubuntu boot images.
2. Separate / partitions, one for Fedora, the other for Ubuntu, about
25 to 30G each
3. Keep a /home subdirectory on each of the partitions on (2), but
link a "My Data" subdirectory to the filesystem under
/home/myusername/ through fstab. "My Data" would come from another HDD
(like 1 TB aprox). The idea is to keep the /home/myusername
subdirectories apart and not let them mix because Fedora and Ubuntu
save diferent data on the home directories, then have a subdirectory
with my real data common to both systems.
Is this setup workable? Is there a better solution? I'd rather not
have to buy two SSDs
because the OS take just about 50G and I still have a lot of free
space in that partition
How about continue using your existing HDDs and install Fedora
as the host OS and then install Ubuntu and windows
as guests in VirtualBox? mostly a thought...:-)
