CL so far!
TL;DR: only works setting /etc/fstab
I freshly installed CL
(following the step-by-step instructions for installing Clear Linux OS) and after the reboot, look mom… no home
As I prefer to have a separate home
partition
- I researched on search engine
- searched for
CLR_MNT_
in this forum - read a few links, among them The Discoverable Partitions Specification
- I tried both the
CLR_MNT_HOME
andCLR_MNT_/home
ways. Both return a partition type GUID933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b844-0e14e2aef915
(should be right forhome
, right?). Example:
$ lsblk -o NAME,PARTLABEL,SIZE,TYPE,PARTTYPE,MOUNTPOINTS
├─sda2 CLR_MNT_HOME 195.3G part 933ac7e1-2eb4-4f13-b844-0e14e2aef915 /home
$ sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 447.14 GiB, 480113590272 bytes, 937721856 sectors
Disk model: SanDisk SSD PLUS
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 1048576 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 307199 305152 149M EFI System
/dev/sda2 307200 409907199 409600000 195.3G Linux home
/dev/sda3 409907200 921905151 511997952 244.1G Linux root (x86-64)
Fact is, both fails to mount home
. After the log in, I get the scary Oh no! Something has gone wrong
message on blank screen and only option is to log out…
It works setting an /etc/fstab
file and I could live with it, but I have the following curiosities (also, would like to follow the CL
way):
- is that
gpt
type actually the right option in this case? - is this setup correct and
2a. should it work? - what am I doing wrong?
- Any suggestion/how to fix it?
Thank you
