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
