Thanks for all the great advice John
ofc i am going to blow away both drives before i start, hence alot of house
keepingh going on first so i have less data to offload!
I will likely do what you suggest, 10G for root and 1G for swap and use the
rest for data
I will post when i have my system up and running!
thanks again
Andy

can you give me some advice as to what partitions to create, can i get
away with just root and swap or is it worth considering more
granularity.
I will install Debian on 1 HDD to start and add the other in after,
mirror the debian partitions, then create data partitions.
How big are your hard discs?

I'd probably go for some variation on my usual set-up there. A 10G
partition on each disc, RAIDed with RAID1 for /. Then perhaps a 1G
partition on each, again RAID1, for swap. Then put the whole of the rest
of each disc into a single large partition, again RAID1, but use the
resulting device as a physical volume for LVM and allocate LVs from that
as needed.
