I've read so many variables on what I'm trying to do, I thought it better to ask outright.
I've been through a few installs and upgrades of Ubuntu but never had my system (root) drive encrypted. Just found out about lvm
and installed a fresh 12.4 alternate without touching my old and seperate /home
folder (encrypted I'm sure, although accessible now with root privileges) on another SSD.
I encrypted the (new) /home
during install. I am looking to combine the two /home
folders and set up existing swap partition that lies on the old /home
drive (as I removed the standard swap during install due to a lack of space on the root drive).
Can I do both actions with the lvm
program?
mount
,sudo fdisk -l
,sudo pvs
andsudo lvs
on your computer with the SSD connected and mounted? This will help us determine what your current situation is.
