Install ubuntu / on SDD and /home on HDD [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
I need an equivalent of gksu in 18.04
4 answers
I'm trying to install ubuntu 18.04 LTS on my computer. I have a SSD and a HDD. I want to install the root / of ubuntu on my SSD (and my swap too), but install my /home on my HDD.
I don't found how to do it during the ubuntu install. If there is a solution please tell me !
So I installed ubuntu on my SSD and I'm trying to move /home on my HDD.
Here what I have done :
Create a partition in ext4 with gparted for my newHome.
Then sudo mount /dev/myNewPartition /media/stockFolder
Then sudo cp -av /home/. /media/stockFolder
Here I'm in troubles because alt+f2 and gksudo nautilus doesn't work (commande not found) but I need it to rename /home in /oldHome and then mkdir /home and mount /dev/myNewPartition /home and cp -av /media/stockFolder/. /home
If there is a solution to do it during installation it will be nice. However could you help me to run gksudo nautilus please ?
Thank you

So which is the question, here? That you can't invokegksudo nautilus, or that the home folder is busy? Or that you want to know how to set your destination$HOMEdirectory on another disk? Because your$HOMEwill always be busy if you're logged in, so you'll need to try after booting from a "live cd" and opening a shell session withSuper+Alt+T. Then you can runsudo apt-get install gksuas root, you can install whatever you need and it won't affect your actual OS fyi.

I just want to install /home on another disk. One way is to move /home. It still doesn't work. I understand that I need to be out of ubuntu to do something on /home. But even if I run ubuntu on my usb key, I can't install gksu or nautilus-admin. It makes no sens. I tried with this : help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving but also impossible to move /home for same reasons and if I'm running from usb key /home on my disk is empty.

"If I'm running from usb key /home on my disk is empty." You're looking in the wrong place. Of course it's empty, you want to be looking on the drive where your/homeshould be! You can useudisksctlto mount the partition and go from there: makeuseof.com/tag/…

Here a solution
Finally I reinstalled ubuntu following this example : How to use manual partitioning during installation?
but the point is that you can create a root partition on SSD and a /home partition on HDD even if you have the device for boot selected as SSD - like the step 8 of this example.
For those how want to move /home the best solution is here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
and keep in mind you can't rename /home when you are on your ubuntu session. To do it boot on an usb key and you can use udisksctl to mount the partition and go from there: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/mounting-hard-disks-partitions-using-linux-command-line/
Thank you for your comments, they really help me to understand how it works.
I hope it will help someone !
