<br></div>Make a 500MB partition for /boot and format it as XFS. Use the rest of the SSD for LVM physical. Create a LVM logical and carve it into / and swap. Format / with XFS. Make a single partition on the HD and format it XFS mounted in /home. <br>
<br>KISS principle in action. Unless you really want to manipulate partition sizes by making the HD an LVM physical drive so you can add/remove partitions on the fly...<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Thanks to both Jim and Allen.<br>
<br>
Next question:<br>
<br>
I'm about to replace an aging (5-year-old) 250 GB RAID-1 setup with an SSD<br>
and 1 TB HD. Should I stay with ext4 or move on to a newer file system?<br>
<br>
I am NOT trying to start a flame war, just trying to cover my butt for the<br>
next five years or so.<br>
