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
And look into the logs. They (pam) should tell you exact reasons. Not-mounted /home should not disallow logins. It would just log you in to /. If login as root fails, boot to single user mode or with init=/bin/bash to investigate logs and fix things. -- js suse labs
