There is not much space left in my ssd, so How can I move my /home to my hdd?
I have 2 OS windows and clear linux in my ssd.
It is the same as others distros:
But can you tell us more regarding that HDD, so we can give you the
right instructions.
It is a new one?
It is a used with partitions?
You will use one new partition for your /home?
You will use an existing partition?
Describe more your expectations.
They all have solutions.
this is my setup
I want to move /home folder to partition 3 in hdd
the partition 3 in your image looks like is /dev/sda2
, if not, just change the last number.
- format your partition
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
- mount it in a temporary directory
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
- copy your home directory to it
sudo cp -a $HOME /mnt
- create the file
/etc/fstab
if it does not exist and add a new entry as:
#[Device] [Mount Point] [File System Type] [Options] [Dump] [Pass]
/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
- `reboot
You new home will be at /dev/sda2
You old /home files still in your SSD, you can delete it by
- do not login in the graphical session
- switch to a linux terminal by hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 keys (at same time)
- log in as root
- unmount your current home
umount /home
- remove your old directory from
/home/
, just be sure you are removing your home from the ssd and not from hda - mount again your home
mount /home
This is not the unique solution, there are others.
This is likely caused by nvidia driver.
yeah adding kernel parameter fix the problem
For future references, would you list the kernel parameter(s) you added?
I don’t know why this worked for me.
It varies with hardware, but the kernel parameters are
pci=noacpi
nouveau.modeset=0
Sorry for piggy-backing an old post, but I’m having a problems with something very similar. I’ve added a HDD, 500 GB to my tower, my primary is 1TB SSD, similar to the OP.
Any time I add a /etc/fstab I cannot successfully reboot. I’ve tried several variations of fstab, mainly I am adding the 500GB HDD as /mnt/storage . It is formatted as NTFS. My fstab is as follows;
#[Device] [Mount Point] [File System Type] [Options] [Dump] [Pass]
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/storage ntfs defaults 0 2
Any comments or advice?
