How to install LL but keep /home

If you're unsure how to confirm which BIOS LL is installed to (UEFI or Legacy BIOS) you can run the following command - it looks for the telltale efi directory..

Code:

[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD"

Again we'll want to confirm whether /home is attached..

Code:

lsblk

You could 'ls /home' to ensure its a blank/empty directory - it may not have gotten recognized - it may have needed the label "/home" reused or reentered at time of install...

You can also use gparted to view partitions. As we'll need the filesystem.. "/sdX#" i.e. /sda2 or /sdb1 etc..


IF...everything is seen by the OS or attached - then it should be easily mounted to LL ...
IF... the partition isn't seen by LL or cannot be mounted, it may be installed to the opposing BIOS - I don't see this being the case - as its not the OS and its not booting...


I really see that the problem being during the install the home partition didnt have the "/home" label (my guess)..
