I would like to move all my user files, programs, everything that is not the OS.
I'd like to keep Ubuntu on an SSD and put everything I've done on a separate 1TB drive. This includes everything in $HOME
, but I'd like to also move /usr to move all my user-installed software.
My thinking is to keep the 180GB SSD as pristine as possible with only the OS in case I need to re-install Ubuntu at any time.
First question: Is this a bad idea?
Second question: Can I follow the same instructions which I used to move my /home to a different disk? As in this post: Move home folder to second drive, or the wiki page about moving /home
