[Anaconda-devel] Re: the possibility to detect /home subvolume if fedora with default partition layout is detected.

Hello Majid,

thank you for your idea. It's definitely something we could discover. Unfortunately, I'm worried that this will not be a simple change and we are currently working on multiple projects with higher priority so it probably it won't be implemented anytime soon.

Also, not sure if you know about that, but this is now doable with the custom partitioning where you could re-use your existing /home without format. However, I totally understand if the custom partitioning is too complex for you.

Hope the above helps at least a bit.

Best Regards,
Jirka

hi,

firstly,

thank you for a lovly installer.

i'm blind and use orca the screen reader to aid me in installing fedora.

too my question

i'm a end user, could what was asked in the subject line be made a
possibility?

usecase, fedora install is completely inoperable and you wish to
currently doo a repair install and you wish to retain your home subvolume.

that is to say.

1.

reinstall fedora lieveing your home subvolume alone and using that
instead of formatting everything.

this would lieve your userdata alone including your .files.

you would need to make the same user account with the same name etc for
this to work.

how i see this in anaconda.

when the installer is launched and you have gone through the language
and keybord layout questions, when it getts to the partition stage and
default /auto partitioning is selected a question could be asked doo you
wish to keep your home partition/volume?

I hope this makes sence.

I would be greatful if you were to  considder this.

Majid Hussain
