Hi,
I have used gparted to clear the partition sdc2 in preparation for the
addition to the btrfs RAID type set up.
It does not have a label such as sdc2 and is reported by gparted as
"unallocated"
Is that the correct description for the purpose? as my machine no longer
boots.
It enters
That was a great help, thanks for directing me there.

Referring to an earlier message about my data drives,
do I need to CHOWN those drives to andrew:andrew and then set the

I think you mentioned a symlink, would that be necessary if I have done

Hi Craig,

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

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

In regard to the hardware advice. The LUV hardware library often has DDR3 RAM
for free, but 4G modules don't hang around long. If anyone is upgrading from a
DDR3 system to DDR4 please donate your old RAM as lots of people have a use for
this.

Hi Andrew.
Craig beat me to it, and in far better detail than I was typing.
It's also going to be simpler to make the changes to UUID or LABEL
format without the two additional drives unplugged, as it will
give you your full-fat operating system and its tools to make the
changes.

I didn't notice this before. You can edit /etc/fstab to change to UUIDs or
