Greetings, I just purchased a 1.5 WD sata II HD and enclosure connected via USB after an unfortunate incident involve rm -rf, something called "home" and a bicycle. It's purpose will be two-fold: As a back-up device for two laptops (HD sizes 500GB and 120GB), and as a central storage device for movies, videos and music I don't like. One laptop is Windows, one is Debian Squeeze.
I'd like a few partitions on it... 1) ext2 to image / from my debian install. 50GB so I could have two or three "snapshots" 2) ext4 encrypted for my /home/arthur/documents folder as backup 3) ntfs? encrypted for girlfriends "my documents/documents" folder. 4) 700GB for backups of pictures from both Debian and XP.. filesystem ... ntfs? 5) 700GB for movies, which would be served (via Debian) to a ps3, not backups, primary storage. Ntfs? Thoughts are that unison might be appropriate here, also LVM for resizing if needed... But I'm looking for opinions, problems with plan, better suggestions or just links to good articles on the subject.
