 Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2005 5:49 pm Post subject: Creating seperate mount points at boot |
 |
|
Hi guys
I'm just about to reinstall, and would like to check something before I do!
I want to create a seperate /home partition (instead of home being in the standard / partition)
Assuming that hda3 is / , hda1 is boot and hda4 is /home, do I just do this:
| Code: |
#mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
#mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
#mkdir /mnt/gentoo/home
#mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
#mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/gentoo/home |
Is that right? Are there any permissions issues?
Cheers
Sam [/code] |

| You don't really need the home partition until you need to make a user account, which can do after you do the first reboot. Still it doesn't hurt to have it attached permanently. |

Well, I'm using the stage 4 tarball to backup my system, so I'll need the /home partition to be there when I unpack it. Thanks for the tip though.
