I'm about to install Ubuntu on two 250-gigabyte hard drives in a RAID 1 array, but I'm confused about how to partition my hard drives. How much space should I give to each partition? How many partitions should I create and where should I mount them? (I should mention that Ubuntu will be the only OS on this array.)
Thanks for the help.

I generally like to have around 20 GB for a system drive, 2GB swap, and the rest for /home. Are you using the partitioner in the ubuntu installer?

I believe so. I'm using the alternate CD because I have to set up a RAID 1 array but I imagine it's the same partitioner.
