    When using multiple drives on a computer for one OS, the best way to do is to use an LVM-based disk partitioning scheme. In Ubuntu, that means using the Alternate Installer edition.

    You should install only on the first disk. Save the second disk for adding extra storage space when the first disk becomes full. On the first disk, you would create a primary partition for /boot, and three logical volumes, one each for /, Swap, and /home.

    When you run out of space on the first disk, then add the second disk to the Volume Group.

    See this tutorial for how to install Ubuntu 11.04 on LVM.
