What all partitions do you have? Why do have these partitions? Do you have a separate home partition? What file systems do you use and why? Do you have an LVM configuration and how does it look?
I have all these questions in my mind as I am trying to redesign my SSD layout in the most efficient way possible…
I have a NAS with media on it (movies, photos,etc) mounted.
I have a local Games partition mounted on /home/<user>/Games shared to all distros (I have 4 or 5 loaded).
I keep most Documents/files in the cloud as well as on the NAS.
The rest is unique between distros due to shared file issues (.config)
I have a NAS for backups, media: movies, photos, music… but it only mounts at certain times, I mean it turns on at certain times so it only mounts on Garuda if I access it.
I have an SSD with Garuda Gaming
I have an Nmve with Windows 11 but I don’t mount it on Garuda.
In a year, I will put Garuda on the Nmve and Windows on the SSD.
I have a data HDD that shares Garuda and Windows.
Straight up EXT4 on 3 external drives.
My Backups - with everything that’s on the two below drives
My Files I - one partition and subfolders Docs, Downloads, Movies, Music Videos
My Flies II - One partition and subfolders Last Night’s, Series To Catch Up On, TV Series, TV Specials
From a pure PC multi-disk perspective?
Root - BTRFs
NVMe1 - EXT4 - for games
NVMe2 - EXT4 - for games & media
For other stuff, like Firewalls, servers and NAS, Either BTRFs or ZFS
SSD 0 BTRFs Arch based Distro
SSD 1 - Root -BTRFs (dr460) + /home ext4
SSD 2 - EXT4 - Multimeda/Docs/DL
NAS - EXT4 - backup for all
NVME 0 - BTRFs @ the moment mokka for tests and other stuff
NVME 1 - M$
About SSD 0 over refind i boot what I want to use right now
No LVM reason LVM in privat systems it make for me no sense.
If it´s a server, of course, the Admin have more control and is more flexible.
