The issue is that when I use auto-partitioning during installation it creates (on my 1 terabyte disk) a large /home 800Gb and a small "/" at 150Gb. What I want is a large "/" (800 Gb) and a small home (150 Gb). There doesn't seem to be any way to see the list of partitions and simply edit the relevant values. It appears that I have to select "I will configure partitioning" and then I am totally on my own!
What I want is the following variant of the auto partitioning - where / is large:
Filesystem Size Mounted on
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/dev/mapper/cl-root 700 Gb /
devtmpfs 7.8 Gb dev
tmpfs 7.8 Gb /dev/shm
tmpfs 7.8 Gb /run
tmpfs 7.8 Gb /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda1 1041 M /boot
/dev/mapper/cl-home 200 Gb /home
tmpfs 7.8 Gb /run/user/1000
But I am faced with a "add disk" prompt which asks for a mount point but no corresponding filesystem. So I could enter /, but where is the /dev/mapper/cl-root entered? I am not sure how many of the filesystems above are required? If they are required - how do I enter them? I am really stuck as I cannot have a system with a small /. Can anyone help?
