I have an Aurora R7. Ubuntu is the only OS on the computer.

I have a problem. I installed the distro to the Intel mempak which is for Intel optane. It is 16GB.

Is there a way to install the kernel space on the 16GB mempak drive and the user-space onto a separate 1TB SSD that I have?

Details:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu 
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS 
Release: 22.04 
Codename: jammy
Desktop version, full graphical capabilities

Desired Outcome:

  • Have the kernel installed on the 16GB optane mempak.

  • Have all additional files be saved on the separate 1TB SSD.

  • All new additions to the filesystem are saved to the 1TB SSD.

  • You are best planning your installation to specific directories, and then install using that plan. Ubuntu Desktop recommends a minimum recommended space of 25GB which you've not met, and movements are more difficult post install; but still possible. You boot live media and make the directories on the volume/drives you want, the modify your file-system-table (fstab) to reflect the new locations & it's done. Specific packages install to specific directories, so it's not "additional" apps that will be caught, but ALL. Don't forget deb, snap etc use different directories. – guiverc Dec 19 '22 at 00:51

The question is not totally correct. You can install the system with manual partitioning having / on the small disk (16 GB should be enough in most user cases) and /home to another disk.

You can re-install Ubuntu this way or move /home to another disk now. But if you just installed the system, the first option will be mush easier.
