If I were you I would get rid off that partion schema and would change it to GUID partioning ! I don't know if it's able to do without new installation ! In my view/with my understanding: if you ever get in the position/the need to do an new install with new partioning your /home on an logical partition is in danger. - maybe I'm wrong ?! - If you move to GUID partioning you circumvent the barrier of 4 primary partions OR 3 prim. plus x logical. You simply get more then 4 primary partitions. - don't know the limit - And you are able - during a later new install - to leave your /home in an primary partition untouched and just mount it during an new install. For the other partitions (/, swap, ...) you are free to format /re-partitioning them without putting /home in danger. - no need to tell that a user data backup is important anyway - Hints: - you need a partition named "Bios Boot" with 1-2 MB size as a first (?) partition. - you need (I'm unsure if this still relevant !!!) "inst.gpt" as boot parameter for your install media https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/25/html/Installation_Guide/sect-boot-options-advanced.html - leave some space (10-15 %) on your ssd un-partitioned ( again, don't know if this still valid) my config: sudo fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1 : Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 465,8 GiB, 500107862016 bytes, 976773168 sectors Disk model: Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: F881C380-A695-4C12-BD2E-73B0D205EFAC Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/nvme0n1p1 2048 6143 4096 2M BIOS boot /dev/nvme0n1p2 6144 97662975 97656832 46,6G Linux filesystem /dev/nvme0n1p3 97662976 781258751 683595776 326G Linux filesystem /dev/nvme0n1p4 781258752 820322303 39063552 18,6G Linux filesystem swap is on another disk ! mount|grep ext4 : /dev/nvme0n1p2 on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) /dev/nvme0n1p3 on /home/ron/DATA type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) /dev/nvme0n1p4 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,seclabel) .../DATA - an extra partition carries movies/mp3/iso's, etc. mostly big data I'm lazy to move around during new installs. - extra partition cause it allows to format /home too during new installs, if needed /home and .../DATA are backup-ed weekly ! a drawback with .../DATA if I format /home: /home/<user> is created during first gnome login, e.g. I can't mark it to mount it during install => a need to edit /etc/fstab AFTER first login/user creation, but I do it anyway to mount /var/tmp as tmpfs to ! cat /etc/fstab : UUID=... / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=... /home ext4 defaults 1 2 UUID=... swap swap defaults,discard=pages 0 0 # UUID=.... / /home/ron/DATA ext4 defaults 1 2 # tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777 0 0 _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
