Needing help for partitioning

[DJNightchild]

Dear Linux Mint Forum

At the moment I'm trying to install Linux Mint on a laptop and I need help with partitioning.
In my laptop, there is one SSD with 128GB and one HDD with 1000 GB (119,21 GiB and 931,32 GiB)

Wat I want is to dedicate the SSD to the root partition. A boot partition is not necessary. This is what I currently have:


SDA 119,21GiB
SDA1 - 2MB - BiosGrub
SDA2 - 119,21GiB - EXT4 - /

SDB 931,32Gib
SDB1 15GiB - EXT4 - /usr
SDB2 6GiB - swap - swap (2GiB is dedicated to tmpfs)
Unformatted - 910,32GiB

I want to dedicate a portion of the remaining GiB to the var partition, with the intention to reduce to write-probability as much as possible.
Looking at the /var/cache and /var/log, how much would you dedicate to var? I know I could use LVM2 and perhaps I will, but that's out of the question for this moment.


Thanks in adavance.

typically, all that you need is a /,, /home,, /swap.

some would say, that you don't even need the /home partition, either.
- what you are proposing is a little complex, indeed.

so, maybe place the /,, on the ssd ( sda )
and the /home,, /swap on the 1Tb hdd ( sdb )

use the inbuilt partitioner , < Gparted > to pre-define those partitions.
- use the 'something else' option, when running the installer itself.

But wouldn't the /var with his cache en logs give a big load on the SSD?
