Hello all,

I am thinking of switching to Fedora from OpenSUSE as I am not too happy about it.

In my dekstop computer there are 2 SSDs installed:

- older one with 500GB
- new one with 1000GB also a bit faster


How can I make the Blivet partitioning tool set up partitions and LVM so that:

- EFI and BOOT are on the fast SSD as well SWAP and / partition: about 100GB should be enough space for it
- use the remaining 900 GB plus the 500GB of the second SDD for /home (I guess LVM is the only option)
- /, SWAP and /home should be encrypted, so all in one encrypted LVM


When approach this task with the automatic partitioning tool of the installer, it puts / along with the EFI and BOOT partition on the small SSD using the large one for my /home partition, but I don't need nor want a nearly 500 GB / partition.


I am glad about any hints on how to set this up correctly

Many thanks in advance

Did you use the instructions at the site below or similar? Seems like creating the partitions the way you want would be simple with a manual installation method. I don't use LVM, Raid or Fedora so haven't any other suggestions.
