Upgraded versions of GUI software might change configurations when they run, but the plan is to have all the config files in the true /home anyway.

GPARTED LIVE USB SHUTS COMPUTER DOWN UPGRADE

Use Not an authoritative answer, but Mint is based on Ubuntu, and I see no reason why an upgrade would want to have anything to do with the user home directories. This might depend on the distribution in use, but generally you shouldn’t be using root, certainly not for ordinary use. I set GRUB_SAVE_DEFAULT in each distribution, and from memory (I could be wrong) this does seem to remember which one was last used even if the order has root’s home is /root, just leave this alone. The situation with grub is interesting (I haven’t used grub-customiser, plain screens do for me) – each time you upgrade a system, it will rebuild the grub loader, and should still pick up all the others, but the order in the menu will change. But check! This is because linux uses $UID to identify owner permissions, not $USER. Then there will be another gotcha – make sure that each USER in the different distributions has the same UID – as long as you create users in the same order on each distribution, this will likely be the case – the first user, you, will be UID 1000, the next is 1001 etc. If you want to accommodate other users, then you’ll need to have another level, ie /mnt/home/USER/ – again, using root, chown each USER directory, but leave /mnt/home as owned by root. This does rely, however, on you being the only user.

Roland’s idea is the way to go, but first as root do ‘chown $USER: /mnt/home’ (after it’s mounted, not before), then from your $HOME simply do: ‘rmdir mkdir /mnt/home/ ln -s /mnt/home/ ‘ for the directories you want. Create /mnt/home first.Īs others have noted, configuration files are invariably different so don’t mount it on /home. In the terminal, enter the following commands to mount the What’s a GUI? (I’m a retired Unix sysadmin :-) ) The simple answer is as described in the article, just add ‘/dev/sda3 /mnt/home ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1’ to /etc/fstab. The current “/home” directory is also in this partition) and “/dev/sda3” as the new “/home.” Yours may differ, and you may need to change “/dev/sda3” to something else, depending on your partition layout. Note: in this tutorial “/dev/sda1” will be used as the “/” directory (also known as the root directory. Extracting the home directory and mounting it When done, click “Apply” to add the changes. All that is left is for the user to enter “Home” in the label option, then click “add” to create the partition. Do this by right-clicking on the free space, then clicking “new.”īy default, Gparted should select Ext4 as the file system and use up all the free space available. Use this free space to make a new partition. With the system partition shrunken, new free space will appear. Click the “Apply” button to apply the changes that were made. Right click on it and select “resize,” then use the tool to shrink it down.

Now that the filesystem is known, go back to Gparted and find this same partition. With the devices printed in the terminal, determine which is the main system directory that holds your “home.” It is usually the largest partition. Open the terminal on the Gparted live environment, then run the lsblk command to print out devices available on the machine. To extract the home directory, file systems need to be mounted. This opens the Gparted graphical environment. Soon after, the live disk asks which mode you prefer. Select the keyboard map applicable to your region and continue on to the next screen. When Gparted live boots up, it takes the user through selecting the keyboard map, etc.

It may be best to look up information on the machine’s BIOS to load it up. For some, the button is either ESC or Del, while others are F2. Configure your computer’s BIOS to load the Gparted live USB.
