Comment # 5 on bug 1225689 from Tony Neely
Ok, a little update here. There was no difference when using a different usb
stick. 

I believe the issues is from how I installed the RC1. While I've run
linux/BSD/plan9/etc for close to 20 years, I tend to avoid the shiny and new.
So, I don't have a lot of experience with systemd or btrfs. 

With the old installer (yast I presume), I was able to edit the partitions and
mount points after the system put in the defaults. I chose my secondary drive
as /home and upon doing so, it removed the @/home subvolume from the primary
nvme. Installation worked well and I've run it that way for months.

So, I'm wondering if the new installer notices subvolumes that would indicate a
previous, Legacy Aeon install but runs into issues when it moves forward until
@/home isn't found on that disk as it's on the secondary drive, which wasn't
chosen for install.

As other, anecdotal evidence I installed universal-blue bazzite. The anaconda
installer isn't as nice as yast and the only option I saw for using two disks
was to select both for moving forward in the install. I'm not sure how this
works with btrfs, but it shows 1.2 Tb or so of capacity (1 Tb ssd, 256 Gb nvme)
for the subvolumes as if it is across both drives. 

With the idea that I could try this approach with Aeon, I reinstalled Aeon
using the new image (RC2) but as far as I'm aware it only lets me choose a
single disk. At least this time it installed successfully with no errors and
offering to backup my home. It seems that after the defaults of bazzite were
written over my custom install, Aeon install worked as an @home subvolume would
be on that nvme drive. However, once again I'm stuck only using one drive. I
tried editing /etc/fstab to use the secondary drive as @home (replacing the
UUID of the primary drive with the second for the @home subvolume line) but it
seems that isn't as straightforward with btrfs and subvolumes. It wouldn't
boot. 

So....right now I'm on bazzite hoping that there is a way to use two drives on
Aeon, even if it using the subvolumes, growfs, etc across both drives instead
of isolating /home to one. Any chance or not supported?

Thanks
