Hi malcolm,
Thanks, it’s good you mentioned it, I included it,
For the small amount of space in that SSD 120GB /112GB when formatted
Do you think I can use it for the UFI, swap,root and home partitions,
then the
hard disk drive for data/storage?
I read in one of the link in this thread that at least, take 10% of the
total SSD
to be not formatted?
Hi
More than enough space, I would run swap at the end of the 1TB device
as it’s unlikely to be used during normal operations;
sda1 - 260MB type ef00
sda2 - 40GB type 8300 /
sda3 - the rest for /home type 8300
sdb1 - your data minus swap space type 8300
sdb2 - swap type 8200
Set your swappiness to 10, also set an io schedule.
I would pre-configure the devices esp the efi partition and during the
install set to not format, but mount as /boot/efi
You can pre-cofigure via the rescue cd and the command line via gdisk;
gdisk /dev/sda
write and quit gdisk then run again;
gdisk /dev/sda
Configure as required, repeat the same for sdb
Then format the efi;
mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/sda1
Boot the install medium configure and enjoy, remember to not
format /boot/efi.
Are you going to use ext4 or btrfs?
