In my notebook, I have a 16GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I have installed Windows 7 on the HDD, which consumes about ~250GB. Then I have installed Ubuntu 12.04.
I put /
on the SSD with ~12GB and also the swap space with the rest of ~4GB.
I put /home
on the HDD with the rest of ~750GB. Unfortunately, I have just recognized that when installing programs, they are put on the SSD and I might run out of space pretty quickly.
How can I reorganize the partitions properly?
Here the output for df -h

/
then create a new swap partition in HDD./usr
there. After that you can editfstab
and mount/usr/
from that partition, and delete it from the SSD. (All of this have to be done from a live CD/DVD environment.)/home
and/usr/share
from HDD which may get bigger? and keeping/usr/lib
on SSD to load libs quickly.rsync
or withcp -p
. But I think someone will soon write a full answer with every aspects, just wait for it.df -h
andsudo fdisk -l
