I am planning to add an SSD drive on my Ubuntu machine. At the moment the computer has a single hard drive, containing the whole install. What I would like to do, is to move the existing installation to the SSD (/
mount), excluding the /home
folder, which I would like to keep on the current hard drive. The reason for this is, that the home folder would not fit on the SSD.
Is there a way that I could just copy everything except the /home
folder to the SSD and then mount the current hard drive's home folder to /home
(of course deleting all that stuff, that was copied on the SSD). Has anyone tried this? Do you think it's possible?
I would not like to make a new installation, as it will take a long time to reconfigure everything.

will not be a problem; I see the main problem here in the GRUB/boot configuration. I will add the tag, hope someone can help with the boot bits I am not expert at. By the way, as it is now you have two partitions (/
and/home
) or just one? It would be useful to know. Please add the result of adf -h
on your post.
