This is cross-posted from Ubuntu forums, but it got bounced off of the first page within minutes. I need some input because I want to install the drive tonight:
I just purchased a shiny 1TB WD Blue drive as storage for my Ubuntu file server. I want to use to backup via SSH/rsync my dual-boot XP/Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop PC.
I'll do either of the following:
1/ Add as 2nd drive to Server, and format/install LVM as one giant partition
2/ Replace Server drive with new 1TB and re-install Ubuntu Server. The data can easily be copied to Server so losing contents is fine.
Any other recommendations for partitioning?
