Hi Peter,


There are some possibilities to this problem:

*   Move /usr/share to a partition in the 16GB SSD disk.  /usr/share represents quite a
     volume of the installed base of a linux system and it is always read-only (except when you install
     or upgrade packages).

*   Define /tmp partition in the 16 GB SSD disk.  Contents in /tmp are discarded on each reboot and
     it is the part that gives more problems when the disk space is gone.  However it is heavily
     written (as opossed to the /usr/share option above).

*   If you really want to have a partition that goes over the two hard disks, you will need to resort to
     LVM (Logical Volume Management) that can unify two partitions in separate meda as a single one.
     However I don't know how could you control how the contents would be distributed between the
     two partitions.

Hope it helps.

          Miguel
