I used Ubuntu20.04 and win10 dual OS before and because some environment went wrong so I decided to erase all of them and install Ubuntu22.04 only. I have a 128GB SSD disk(sda) and 1TB regular disk(sdb). There is a question I didn't notice before but today I suddenly noticed: Before when I chose to automatically install ubuntu on sdb, I let ubuntu automatically erase that disk and did the partition, and then a prompt window reminded me that two partitions would be made: one is ESP(efi) and the other is /
. After the installation finished, I can see my /home/username
folder but I didn't manually created it.
Does that mean /
and /home
are in the same partition by default? Or /home
is mounted under /
?(Q1)
But I browsed many posts and people usually will manually mount /
and /home
in different partitions.
And here's my plan, I'm gonna partition sda into 3 partitions: efi
, swap
, /
and keep the entire sdb mounting under /home
. so Q2 is: does this sound good?(I mean, can this scheme separate my personal data, like docs, pics and data folders separate from the OS in case the OS broke so that I can easily recover my important data?)
I know this is a trivial question but please give me some help cuz I've been struggling for hours. Any response will be appreciated.
