Here's how my partitions are currently set up:
500 GB HDD:
[21 GB Free Space]
[145 GB Windows partition - unfortunately I can't move it so it starts at the beginning of the Hard disk]
[175 GB Data partition]*
[145 GB Extended partition, containing / and Swap]
SDD:
[30 GB used as a cache for the HDD in Windows]
*Note that my "My Documents." "My Downloads," etc. folders are relocaed to the data partition. The "Documents," "Downloads," etc. folders in linux are symlinked to the same folders.
----------
I'd like to reinstall Ubuntu and put / on the SSD. I'd also like to make use of the 21 GB on my HDD before the windows partition. Here's what I was thinking:
HDD:
[8 GB SWAP]
[13 GB /home]**
[145 GB *******]
[320 GB Data]
SDD:
[30 GB / ]
**Alternatively, I could make this 21 GB and move the SWAP partition to be after the Windows Partition.
---
My question is: What's the minimum size I can make my /home partition so I will probably never run out of space, given that all of my Documents, Downloads, and Media will be on a separate partition?
