Setup: Partitions

Recommendation for hard disk partitioning

Based on the recommended hardware setup the system has two logical hard drives.

The first one is the ssd, which is used for the boot, system, data and swap partition.

The second one, which is a logical raid 1 with two physical hard disks, is used for the user data.

The whole setup looks like

disk path type size info
SSD /boot/efi vfat 500MB EFI boot partition
SSD / ext4 30GB system partition
SSD /dataDisk ext4 200GB data partition (for e.g. ftp, htdocs, openhab, custom tmp, custom var and custom etc)
SSD swap swap 8GB swap
RAID1 /dataRaid ext4 3TB user data (e.g. nextcloud, backups incl. rsync of /dataDisk)
