Thread: change /home to a partition of another disk

  1. #1

    change /home to a partition of another disk

    I have 2 harddisks (hda en hdd). My installation is in hda1, the swap is in hdd1. And all i want is to change the /home to /dev/hdd2 (which is 30 GB).
    This what i did:
    # mount /dev/hdd2 /mnt/hdd2tmp (i have created this directory)
    # cd /home
    # cp -ax * /mnt/hdd2tmp
    # cd /
    # umount /home
    # umount /mnt/hdd2tmp
    # mount /dev/hdd2 /home
    And fstab changed
    /dev/hdd2 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2

    Its not working...." Could not read network connection list etc etc."
    Maybe i am doing something wrong (sure) ...but what ?
    Thanks
    Koen

    First, this post should probably be in the HD install forum so it can get the most exposure. The customization & remastering forum is used to discuss making you very own customized Knoppix CD.

    Next, where & when is the error occuring? Upon boot up? Upon accessing the /home such as ls -l /home? In the past I have done your steps & have never had problems.

    change /home to a partition of another disk

    The error is occuring upon boot.
    " Could not read network connection list
    //.DCOPserver_abost1_0
    Check of programme :dcopserver" is working"

    a lot of "//.kde/share/config/ etcetc is not writable"
    And last
    "No write access to $HOME directory (/)
    KDE is unable to start.

    Thanks for helping me.
