Peter I don't do this, so I'll just point you in the right direction. First, don't use the drive id to mount partitions. Run /usr/sbin/blkid and use the UUID in /etc/fstab, in lines like this. UUID=6fce1ad7-4382-4634-8a62-7ac8d707f5ff /mnt/s2b3 ext4 defaults 0 2 And you won't mount at /mnt/sda2, you'll mount at /home, /usr /tmp in order to do what you want. You'll have to create those directories under your new partition, and make sure they have the correct parameters (the same as /usr and /home have under /). Some caveats. /tmp is a temporary directory in that it is created each boot. Not sure how well your separate mount point will play with that default behavior. I vaguely recall that /usr is required to be on the same partition as /, in order for the kernel to find it during boot. This is because everything is now under /usr (libraries, binaries, etc.) If that is true, a separate /usr won't fly. Finally, these new partitions don't replace the existing partitions under / (except for /tmp). So all the space they are using will still be used, unless you clean it up after your new partitions are in place. Someone else here might be able to give you better instructions (and correct any errors I've made). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/55QUAAO5ESAGWVCEPL4DAJUQV3PWWCUV/
