I have physically got two 120Gb hard disks and want a Ubuntu 9.04 over the entire system.

I take it I need to use advanced partitioning and I also want to make use of EXT3. Can someone supply some example(s) combination??

All i want to do is have a 2Gb swap file (easy step), but I think i want maybe 10Gb allocated for '/' (ie system stuff) and I really want the remainder of the 2 HDs (120+ 108Gb) ie 228Gb in /HOME ...ie seen as one large usable data space. This doesn't seem to work as when I allocate a mount point of /HOME on both Hard disks, you can't have the same mount point twice.

Is there some applcation of logical or extended partioning that I am missing? This should be simple but I cant see it.

Hi there,

Spreading filesystems over two disks with no redundancy is very high risk, because it doubles the probability of data loss. In any case, it sounds like you want RAID 0.
