I have my main(120gb SSD) drive with Ubuntu 22.04 installed on:

dev/sda1

I have another 3 TB hard drive which is formatted as ext4:

dev/sdb1

What I would ideally like:

I would like to "fuse" these two together so that they are treated as one drive and share the same home directory.

What would also work:

If I could easily navigate to the other drive on the command line and have it use all my other configs (git, vimrc, zshrc etc...)

If anyone could provide a set of commands/file edits that I could use to achieve either of these it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Consider moving the Home, /home/ to the new hard disk. This is the easiest and highly recommended use of a second disk. Combining the 2 disks into a single logical volume means when any one disk fails you will lose everything. Moving some applications to the second disk (if I understand your second choice correctly) won't work. – user68186 Mar 16 '24 at 23:08
