Hi,
Installing Ubuntu Studio on my laptop and also XUbuntu 13.10 on a Odroid U3, asking about partition sizes.
On the laptop, I have already these partitions:
200 MB - EFI
143.47GB - OS C: NTFS
341.80GB - Data D: NTFS
213.05GB - unallocated
So I would make a root, a swap, and a /home for Ubuntu - how big should they be?
(I would like to leave room for later on putting a XUbuntu install and a Mint install as well)
I use the D: for all the data - files I create with applications or download from the internet
and I would put my Linux data files here as well, I guess using Samba to access the NTFS?
/swap - 6.2GB just larger than my RAM - will the other installs use this as well?
/home - realistically how big does this need to be?
/ - I expect something like 30GB should be more than adequate?
Now with the Odroid, things are a bit more interesting. It has two memory areas, both are
Flash based - one is called an eMMC with (supposedly) 160MB/s access, and a micro SD.
Both are 64GB maximum capacity. There will be no Windows, of course, just Linux. The
XUbuntu 13.10 is 'pre-installed' on the eMMC or on the SD (Actually I have two Odroids).
/swap - 2.1GB - just larger than the RAM (it is a Samsung Exynos quad ARM core SoC)
/home - I suspect there will actually not be any home, but read below
/ - I expect this all to live on the rest of the eMMC
So I plan to use Odroid for a sandbox Moodle server, so I need to install LAMP and Moodle.
I expect to put all these on the eMMC and the course files on the SD. Sound reasonable?
thanks - PJ
