Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).
its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)
any ideas for things to try?
rm /home
mkdir /home
make /var/home a symlink to it.
Alternative, edit your /etc/fstab to mount on /var/home.
Don’t you have that backwards? This is an atomic distro, and you’d want to
mkdir /var/homethen symlink/homefrom that, no? Otherwise, you’ll wind up with a home directory that is immutable.@Telorand I am not familiar with that distro, I am however familiar with how mount works. As far as what is immutable and what is not, you can set with chattr +i file/directory or chattr -i file/directory.
editing the /etc/fstab didnt work (I just changed the path but not sure if the uuid plays any part) but ill give the rm/mkdir part a go
Make sure the uuid matches the uuid of the home partition you want, you can list uuids with blkid I think, big noob here too I just spent my last week trying to figure out why it wouldnt mount my boot partition and the problem was the UUID…
Did you update your initramfs after? The new fstab doesn’t apply until you refresh that
No but I rebooted the system after the change. do still need to update it regardless the reboot?
