Properly installing Ubuntu on three hdd












-1















sorry on low english.
I want to install Ubuntu x64bit on three hdd, each of 1tb (WD blue, WD green and Toshiba).
I have UEFI motherboard and 4gb RAM (i will soon upgrade to 8gb).
I've always install Ubuntu with default settings for single OS on one hdd.
Now i want to properly install Ubuntu and configure all partition during installation.
I want to all systems partitions be on one hdd and that system boot from that hdd.
Another two hdd will have one partition for storage, each of 931gb.
I need guide step-by-step how to make this partitions:




  • how much memory is needed for each partition in this case: /swap, /boot, /var, /tmp, /root and /home

  • which partition should need to make first

  • which partition need to be primary or logical

  • which partition need to have mount point

  • which format is need for each partition


Thanks

  • You can install Ubuntu on one of the hard disk drives with the standard method using the whole drive. This way you need not worry about partition sizes, The whole Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS system will be in one single partition (for example a swapfile instead of a swap partition). After that you can usegparted to create a partition table and one partition with the ext4 file system in each of the other two hard disk drives.

  • I should add, that in UEFI mode, the installer will also create a small EFI system partition in the 'first' hard disk drive, /dev/sda. It is a good idea to install the whole Ubuntu system in this drive, /dev/sda. If you really want to split into two partitions, you can consider using 100 GiB for the root partition / and the rest for a home partition /home

  • If partitioning in advance you want to use gpt on all drives. Often easiest to disconnect all but drive you want to use for install, unless putting /home on another drive. You may not need to physically disconnect as many UEFI allow to to turn off a drive, so not seen. UEFI/gpt partitioning in Advance: askubuntu.com/questions/743095/… & New installs now use swap file, so swap partition not required: help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace With gpt all partitions are primary.
