I am trying to move /home from a rather tired hdd to a new ssd on this desktop Tumbleweed system running KDE Plasma.
/ is on an nvme drive.
I have formatted (xfs) a partition on the new drive (/dev/sda1) and copied /home from the old drive to the new drive.
I have edited /etc/fstab to mount /dev/sda1 on /home and commented the line defining the hdd's mount point.
When I reboot, I get as far as the login screen, but my password is not accepted. The login screen keeps reappearing asking for a password.
Any suggestions as to what I may have missed out?
Could be a typo. Can you login as root? If yes, reply with output from:
mount | grep home cat /etc/fstab lsblk -f
Deep shame and embarrassment. It was a typo! The new drive was mounted on /mnt. I had copied /home/userMe to /mnt instead of /mnt/userMe. Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. Bob -- Bob Williams No HTML please. Plain text preferred. https://useplaintext.email/
