I've looked through the wiki, and I went through the options for adding more disk to an existing installation of security onion. My question, if I know I'm going to be installing the Ubuntu portion to a smaller volume, and SecurityOnion to a larger volume, is there a way to do that during the installation procedure? or do I need to go through the adding more disk procedure to get SecurityOnion pointed to the larger disk? During my testing, I did not see where I could specify which disk, or which mount to install SecurityOnion too.

Hi Derek,

Have you seen the ProductionDeployment page on our Wiki?

https://code.google.com/p/security-onion/wiki/ProductionDeployment

"you may want to put /nsm on a dedicated partition/disk and assign as
much disk space as possible (1TB or more)"

In the Ubuntu installer, you should be able to specify a dedicated
/nsm partition. If you create your dedicated /nsm partition in the
Ubuntu installer before running Setup, you shouldn't have to go
through the NewDisk procedure.
