I second the opinion about using LVM. You could also consider using RAID1 over 1GB of both disks: Create /dev/sda1 (10GB, total disk) and /dev/sdbn (10GB, partition) and set these up as partitions for RAID. You can then use that as /dev/md0 directly, or run LVM on top of that. You could also then just have a /boot and put the rest of the disk in a second LVM VG: sda: sda1 10G RAID sdb: sdb1: 250M /boot sdb2: 10G RAID sdb3: 30G PV You can then use the 30G PV for swap, and any other filesystems which are less important, and use the 10G for more important stuff which needs to be stored more safely. It will give you more flexibility than static partition layouts can. You could also use GPT partitions rather than DOS MBR. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
