All of the questions I've looked at in respect of this issue relate to moving an existing home to another partition and I don't want to do that. I had to reload Ubuntu 18.04.1 on my machine and thankfully it loaded Ubuntu into sda/dev8, whilst leaving all my data where it was on dev/sda10. The sda10 data was produced whilst running 16.4.04 (and previous versions).
What I now want to do is configure my system so that it uses and mounts dev/sda10 as home. I want to delete the home directories on dev/sda8. I do have backup copies of my data, but don't want to have to restore and setup the different programs I run, unless absolutely necessary.
Can someone please help explain how to do this?
/etc/fstab
. That's where alle the disks are mounted and you will find a /home there if it is a different partition. You can switch the UUID to "sda/dev10" there. You can not however set TWO partitions that both have /home as a root directory.
