Keeping Ubuntu OS in the SSD and the media in HHD makes sense. The way Windows 8 uses a small SSD and a large HDD is not available to Ubuntu. Thanks to Fabby for pointing me to these resources.

See How do I install and use flashcache/bcache to cache HDD to SSD? and ArchLinux Wiki on Bcache for more on some of these methods. What are the advantages/disadvantages of different SSD to HDD cacheing options (dm-cache, flashcashe.)? for differences between these. that allow Ubuntu to use a small SSD and a large HDD in ways similar to Windows. There are other alternatives, bcache, flashcache, dm-cache, EnhanceIO etc. # swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation # /files was on /dev/sdb5 during installation # that works even if disks are added and removed. # device this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # /etc/fstab: static file system information. A step by step procedure would be extremely helpful.Įdit: I want a system running solely on Ubuntu, with the SSD to speed things up but setting it in such a way that it does not hasten its lifespan. My ideal setup would be something similar to this, but I know for a fact that IRST is not available in Linux so what I intend to do is keep the OS files in the SSD instead and keep my media on the larger HDD. However as I am new to Linux I really don't know what to do. Normally, in Windows 8 my setup would be install everything in the HDD and use Intel Smart Response for a speedy setup. With lots of guides and setup variations all over the internet, I find it confusing which is which to really follow.
