I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 in my HDD. The Windows boot loader is in SSD, and the mount point of /boot is also in SSD. But the root directory "/" is mounted at HDD. For a few days, I feel like ubuntu boots really slow, and so do application. I can spare some SSD because I don't use Windows frequently, but what should I do to make use of that part of SSD?
I know little about how linux arrange its files on disk, so any point is appreciated!

  • Post these above in your question: sudo parted -l and mount your partitions that are not mounted and run df -h. I like to keep / (root) on SSD, but have all my data on my HDD in /mnt/data and folders linked into /home. When I still had Windows I had two data partitions, one NTFS and one ext4. askubuntu.com/questions/524943/… & askubuntu.com/questions/921778/…
