Partitioning for Ubuntu

Postby thomasps » Fri May 03, 2013 6:58 am

I was wondering if anyone could help me setup my partitions under Ubuntu. I'm planning to do a fresh install from F14 to Ubuntu. In F14, I had followed one of the wikis to setup LVM with several partitions. I'm not planning to re-create that, nor to use LVM.

I would like to separate the root partition from the partition where Greyhole's landing zone will be. I think this is best done during the installation process. So for example, on a 500GB drive, I'm thinking something along these lines:

500MB.....boot
10 GB..... root
Everything else....for home + /var/hda/files (Greyhole LZ)

How exactly do I do that during Ubuntu install? Any better suggestions?
