Goodday Ubuntu-experts,
I am trying to make a home server and I have a very basal question that is perfectly fit for a forum because it is both essential as basal and I can not find the exact answer on the fora until now. I am fairly handy around windows and MacOS but relatively new on linux.
The situation:
I am trying to make a home server for 3 services;
Owncloud
Plex media server
Samba LAN server
The hardware I have:
Old but sufficient; motherboard, CPU and RAM (not important)
2,5 TB hard disks (1x 1,5tb and 1x 1tb)
I already made server version 1.0. The server was up and running and providing all the needed services. I am contemplating how I will proceed now. I will make server 2.0 (fresh install). Now I added the secnd harddrive. I wanted to install ubuntu on a logical volume. What I did; during the install I made a LVM from the two availlable hard drives. From this volume group (2,5 Tb) I made several logical volumes. I mounted all selectable mounts (e.g. /Var, /Home). But if I do that I can not continue. Here is where I am stuck!
The concrete questions I have:
How can I continue? I do not seem able to mount the /boot on a logical volume?!
How much space should I reserve for what mounts? Like I said I am only using owncloud, plex and samba. I would like to use most of the availlable space for these services.
That was it for now. I would be very grateful for an answer on these questions. Then I can finally make progress for my second attempt to make my house-server 2.0.
Greets,
