Partitioning a 128GB SSD and 500GB HDD

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3200 / 1 Year ago, sun, december 25, 2022, 12:27:37

So I have a 128GB SSD and 500GB HDD. I want to reïnstall my laptop and put Ubuntu 12.10 on this setup. I already looked around on the internet and came up with this partitioning schema:

about 2GB of swap on the SSD (I got 4GB of RAM in my laptop)

/ using the rest of that space

/home on the HDD

So I was wondering, are there any better schemes or extra partitions that I should consider putting on a particular drive?

Thanks in advance! :)

I would read this article about setting up an SSD for ubuntu:

http://www.howtogeek.com/62761/how-to-tweak-your-ssd-in-ubuntu-for-better-performance/

128 gb is an enormous amount of space for /. I have a separate partition for / and /home and my / is well under 16 gb. I think that is probably enough.

You can keep /home on the SSD and link the Downloads, Music and Video folders out to the external HDD
