Hi Russell,

The 1Tb is an SSD for speed and I have another 2 x 2Tb drives for my data. After 3 years of photography and 13,000 images in raw, proofs and full size jpgs I have around 500Gb of data. This should meet my needs for 2 years at least at which time I will build a bigger machine.

I am in the partitioner at present, manual  chosen,

I want root on the SSD

LVM VG ubuntu-vg LV root - 2.0TB Linux device-mapper (linear)  is what I am presented with

so do I need to change root to home?

LVM VG ubuntu-vg, LV  swap_1 - 1.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)

SCS13 (0,0,0) (sda) - 1.0 TB ATA Samsung SSD 860

SCS15 (0,0,0)(sdb) - 2.0 TB ATA ST2000DM006-2DM1
           #1  primary 2.0 TB K  lvm

SCS16 (0,0,0) (sdc) - 2.0 TB  ATA ST2000DM006-2DM1
        #1     primary   2.0 TB  K  lvm


So how do I partition this so that root and boot are on the 1.0TB SSD

and so that /home is the RAID array of two disks of 2TB each?

I am in Guided Partitioning at present, next step is Configure Sotware RAID

Then Configure the Logical Volume Manager

Then configure encrypted volumes

Then configure iSCSI volumes

I wouls appreciate some advice as I am in pretty deep, my eyes are above the water but I need to take a breath soon.


Gratefully

Andrew

If you have a RAID-1 of 2TB disks a single 1TB disk doesn't provide much value. 
I suggest using the port for a second SSD instead and have a RAID-1 on SSD for 
root and /home and 2*2TB RAID-1 for everything else.

If a 2TB RAID-1 isn't enough for your big files then consider getting a couple 
of 6TB disks, they are cheap nowadays.
