I just installed a 240GB SSD on my laptop. So I have two drives, the SSD and a HDD. So, I have installed Windows on my SSD with 170GB memory. And I want to install Ubuntu on my SSD, too, with 30GB memory. But I want only the Ubuntu system that was installed on the SSD.
If I save any file like a document, photo, video, etc, I want to save it to my HDD. So the SSD should just be for the Ubuntu system and not for saving files.
How can I do that?
Please suggest a solution!
On installation make sure that you put the /home directory on the HDD. You can map your whole HDD (or only a partition) to the mount-point /home. This way everything you save in your /home directory would be saved on the HDD.
On the other hand you could create a completely new, separate, directory like /data that is a mount-point of your HDD(like /dev/sdb1 or so) and contains all of your data. But this way you'll have to adjust all the relevant soft-links and hard-links to the new location.
Both options are viable.
