Greetings,

I've added a new hdd to my raid, this results with more space which I want to allocate to different partitions.
so I need to move my /home.
I've created a new partition, copied all the data from /home into it, added the relevant label for the mount to work (I work with labels) and proceeded to boot with the system.
I get to the login screen but when I try to login with any user, lightdm returns to it self.
if I drop to shell and login, I login with the home folder intact.

what can be the issue or where I can find logs to debug it?

Thanks.

Plz post
Code:

cat /etc/fstab
mountpoint /home
ls -ld /home/$USER
ls -ld /home
lsblk -f
cat /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

Greetings,

here:
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed); notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency).  It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1.
# All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>          <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#
# NOTE: Even though we list ext4 as the type here, it will work with ext2/ext3
#       filesystems.  This just tells the kernel to use the ext4 driver.
#
# NOTE: You can use full paths to devices like /dev/sda3, but it is often
#       more reliable to use filesystem labels or UUIDs. See your filesystem
#       documentation for details on setting a label. To obtain the UUID, use
#       the blkid(8) command.

That's the bit that its easy to mess up. As what user did you make the copy and what command did you use?
What users were logged in when the copy was in progress?

Greetings Neddy,

prior to copy, I dropped to shell, login as root (no other user logged in), mounted the new partition, changed to it's folder and ran this: rsync -delete -av /home/* .

DaggyStyle,

Do you have any dot files or symbolic links in the new /home?

Its at time like this you wish you had used LVM and just grown the LV.

I don't like LVM, so I don't wish it :)

btw, I'm not sure it is related to the users, I've created a new user on that partition and it didn't logged in too

I worry about that:
Code:

drwxr-x--- 46 dagg backup 12288 Jan 12 11:16 /home/dagg


it shoudl be optimally 755 with dagg:dagg
Do that
Code:

sudo chmod  755 ~
sudo chown -R dagg:dagg ~


Is backup a user/group pair?
If yes try
Code:

sudo usermod -aG dagg backup
