Hi Russell,
The 1Tb is an SSD for speed and I have another 2 x 2Tb drives for my
data. After 3 years of photography and 13,000 images in raw, proofs and
full size jpgs I have around 500Gb of data. This should meet my needs
for 2 years at least at which time I will build a bigger machine.
I am in the partitioner at present, manual chosen,
I want root on the SSD
LVM VG ubuntu-vg LV root - 2.0TB Linux device-mapper (linear) is what I
am presented with
so do I need to change root to home?
LVM VG ubuntu-vg, LV swap_1 - 1.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
SCS13 (0,0,0) (sda) - 1.0 TB ATA Samsung SSD 860
SCS15 (0,0,0)(sdb) - 2.0 TB ATA ST2000DM006-2DM1
#1 primary 2.0 TB K lvm
SCS16 (0,0,0) (sdc) - 2.0 TB ATA ST2000DM006-2DM1
#1 primary 2.0 TB K lvm
So how do I partition this so that root and boot are on the 1.0TB SSD
and so that /home is the RAID array of two disks of 2TB each?
I am in Guided Partitioning at present, next step is Configure Sotware RAID
Then Configure the Logical Volume Manager
Then configure encrypted volumes
Then configure iSCSI volumes
I wouls appreciate some advice as I am in pretty deep, my eyes are above
the water but I need to take a breath soon.
Gratefully
Andrew

If you have a RAID-1 of 2TB disks a single 1TB disk doesn't provide much value.
I suggest using the port for a second SSD instead and have a RAID-1 on SSD for
root and /home and 2*2TB RAID-1 for everything else.
If a 2TB RAID-1 isn't enough for your big files then consider getting a couple
of 6TB disks, they are cheap nowadays.
