I have a 1 TB spinning HD, and a 256 GB SSD.
I keep my OS and large projects on the SSD, for speed.
The rest is on the spinning HD, because of its size.
The problem: This means I have things to back up spread out over different devices. Instead, I'd like to be organized and have everything I need to back up ("my" stuff) under, say, /data. Like the old days, when we used different partitions for different uses.
Symlinks aren't the answer because either a) I end up with backed up symlinks rather than the data, or b) I dereference them, meaning if I ever restore I end up with everything in one pile (and it dereferences other symlinks lower in the hierarchy, making copies).
Can LVM be intelligently used here to somehow create a volume for the OS and a volume for my data, but split PV's between them?
