New installation hetzner, maybe guru?

[wuffer1]

Hi there. I have a hetzner server with 2x3 tb harddrives. I would like to run raid 1. But if i just use hetzner ubuntu/debian without changing settings, i get 1tb in / and 1.7tb in /home.

Can a guru install fix so it only use a little in root and rest in home folder?

This is what hetzner write, not sure what that means
The creation of partitions larger than 2TiB is only possible with a GUID Partition table (GPT). Thus only operating systems which include GRUB2 that supports booting from GPT drives can be installed

you can change the partitions when you install, this gif shows changing raid level and partition breakdown. you can use RAID 1, but just reference it to where you would switch partition sizes.

boot into rescue mode and run installimage

Hetzner server setup for quickbox Raid-0

So when you’re setting up your server you will need to change 2 things for server to have raid 0 on / mounted partition. First is the raid level should be at 6 or something like it, you’re going to want it to be 0 next is to remove /home and add all remaining space to / mount you can also remove the swap if you have a lot of ram anything more than 20Gb you won’t really need swap, it will just slow you down. and changing hostname is not needed but you can if you’re feeling a need to.

Thanks. I will try that when i get a backup of my current stuff on the server

you can also remove the mount point /home and save lot of problems down the road. also can remove swap as well. as servers really dont need it. not for this use at least.
