!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the answers telling you to directly edit /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml are wrong since CloudInit is used and will generate that file. In Ubuntu 18.04.2 it is clearly written inside the file :

$ cat /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml
# This file is generated from information provided by
# the datasource. Changes to it will not persist across an instance.
# To disable cloud-init’s network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}
network:
ethernets:
eno1:
dhcp4: true
version: 2

Awesome page, took me a day to figure out why my Ubuntu server would fail with a “grub rescue” prompt when I installed on a 3TB hard drive, LVM would boot but I don’t want that. I added my partitions following your pattern and I found that 3TB on my machine was the problem, dividing into smaller partitions was the answer! thanks

I am new to/with Linux. Would like to setup a file and storage server with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Read the question of Phaelan about partitioning a 500 gb drive and also the answer by Pradeep Kumar. What is the partitioning scheme for the “ file and storage server” in Ubuntu.

Hi Phaelan,

Partitioning scheme totally depends on application / services that you are your planning to run inside the Ubuntu 18.04. Let’s suppose you have 500 GB disk space and want to run Apache / Nginx then you could create following partitions,

/ – 50 GB
/boot – 1 GB
/var – 300 GB
/var/log – 50 GB
/tmp – 10 GB
/data – 50 GB
Swap – Minimum of 4 GB

Hello,

If I have a 500gb drive. Which partition does the lion’s share go to?
/ ?
/home?
/data?

I’m not sure.

Any thoughts?

I have burnt ubuntu 18.04 onto dvd. Insert DVD into my old desktop and it does not see any bootable file.

In your article you say “Once the file is downloaded then burn it either into USB or DVD and make it Bootable” How do I make my dvd bootable then?
