Installing Linux Across 2 SSDs using Blivet Partitioning Tool
by PasBern from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J1NS)
Hello all,
I am thinking of switching to Fedora from OpenSUSE as I am not too happy about it.
In my dekstop computer there are 2 SSDs installed:
- older one with 500GB
- new one with 1000GB also a bit faster
How can I make the Blivet partitioning tool set up partitions and LVM so that:
- EFI and BOOT are on the fast SSD as well SWAP and / partition: about 100GB should be enough space for it
- use the remaining 900 GB plus the 500GB of the second SDD for /home (I guess LVM is the only option)
- /, SWAP and /home should be encrypted, so all in one encrypted LVM
When approach this task with the automatic partitioning tool of the installer, it puts / along with the EFI and BOOT partition on the small SSD using the large one for my /home partition, but I don't need nor want a nearly 500 GB / partition.
I am glad about any hints on how to set this up correctly
Many thanks in advance
