Feature added by: Kalenz . (Kalenz) Feature #314883, revision 1 Title: /root symlinked to /home/root openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Kalenz . (kalenz) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: I might be saying something stupid here, in which case just shout me down. But: by default openSUSE installs with a separate /home partition, and for a typical user the most obvious benefits are: - ability to format/reinstall without erasing /home; - ability to share /home with different installs/distros; - (less sexy: keep root partition small, for efficiency.) Based on the first two arguments, I think we would be doing most users a favour by placing /root on the /home folder. Arguments for: (1) It is the home folder of the root user, so surely /home is a sensible place to keep it; (2) /root typically contains credential files, config scripts and so on, which you probably don't want to lose if you format / (and not /home). Arguments against: (3) I can imagine this to be problematic if you encrypt /, but not /home. What do others think? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314883
