In theory, Ubuntu and Fedora will have their own partitions inside the SDD. My question is, can I share the /boot partition between Fedora and Ubuntu? both are using Grub2. Right now I have two /boot partitions (one on each HDD) and it is a pain.
That's because your setup is wrong. If I were you, I would install a bootloader into the boot sector of each of your /boot partitions and chainload them from your MBR. [Alternatively, since both are GRUB2, you can let the primary grub.conf menu load a grub.conf from a secondary OS.]
For some reason, Ubuntu does not find out Fedora unless I mount the disk each time I update ubuntu kernel. If I update Fedora kernel I have to go to Ubuntu to redo the boot config files. (Yes, the master boot goes to Ubuntu for some reason I do not remember any more).
Again, that's because of the setup that's inconvenient.
I want to keep just one /boot partition of maybe 800 MB to make everyone feel confy.
That nothing I would recommend. ;-)
