Setup Your Disks
You will want to verify you have at lease 400gb avaiable on your machine using df -h. Here you see 940G in my / mount point on drive /dev/sdc/. The Ubuntu installer will default to 100G and leave much of your space unused unless you tell it what to do.
If your machine has 2 Disks, we want to separate the Ledger to the larger disk.
NOTE: if you change ledger to a separate drive, you will need to modify your Ledger Dir in other commands and locations later in the guide.
Run lsblk to see your storage devices on your system
If you have a drive not being used, you can run sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdd but adjusting for your device name.
Then you can make your ledger dir in some folder such as sudo mkdir -p /mnt/ledger
And change ownership to your non-privledged user sudo chown -R xand:xand /mnt/ledger
And then mount it to your spare device sudo mount /dev/sdd /mnt/ledger
Now anything you put in the /mnt/ledger directory will be held in the additional drive (possibly a faster nvme drive).
