Was running Leap 15.0. Made a backup (rsync) of /home. Tonight installed Leap 15.5. 2 questions:
* how do I permanently mount /dev/sda1 as /home? Things have changed a bit since the last time I did that.
* I had 2 instances of firefox in 15.0. When I start FF in 15.5, it has no idea about my profile. If I tell it to use what appears to be the correct one, FF argues, says I'm trying to run an old version and it will (maybe) corrupt my data and gives me 2 choices: make a new profile or quit. %$#@! How do I get FF to use my data: tabs, bookmarks, etc from 15.0? Oh, yeah - the 2 instances I had on 15.0? When I start FF it picks up the tabs from one (the wrong one, of course!).
Maybe I am just tired but I could not figure it out so I'm reaching out.
Thanks, Fred Reading it again, I see what the issue is. You should, during install, have imported the mount points in the Expert Partitioner. If /home's contents are on /dev/sda1 it should have detected that and reuse it. Your option now is to use the YaST Partitioner and add /dev/sda1 with the mountpoint /home . Save and it should be mounted at boot.
