Finally reverted everything back to the original setting and decided to just move the var directory to its own partition.  Wasn't easy either.

Issues with moving var due to Selinux.

You just need to tell it to relabel at boot.  "fixfiles onboot"

I made the mistake of disabling selinux instead of setting it to permissive. Raised its own headaches as I was expecting selinux as the problem. Bad of me, I know. Lesson learned.


 From what I learned today, with Selinux and luks encryption, there is no easy way to do changes on a system.  Even systemd flagged me on changes to the fstab file.

That's probably just telling you that you changed the fstab file, but haven't reloaded systemd to tell it.  You probably wouldn't want to anyway, since you didn't want it to take effect until you reboot.

You are probably correct.


When I get some spare time, I will just install and configure a new drive.  If I had started that at the beginning, I would have completed by now.  Still learned many things though.

Use btrfs next time (it's the default now).


I had so many issues with btrfs in the past that I am going to wait until I read that the tools are as good as ext4. After multiple re-installs due to corrupted file systems and no tools to fix it.

I still read warnings about btrfs so I will avoid it.

Also had issues with LVMs and changing drives that I don't want to deal with that either. Partitions are easier for what I do than setting up volumes and removing them.

My choice, my experience.

System is now KDE on F41 and need to reconfigure the desktop due to issues I am having. May be some bug reports once I do more testing. Not sure if it is a Wayland thing or just a bug or old config file conflicting.
