Mounting /home on a different partition
I am using Ubutnu 18.04.
Currently, /home is mounted on / on an NVME disk according to df command:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p2 137G 113G 18G 87% /
...
The size of /dev/sda1 is 400GB which I want to use as my /home according to fdisk -l:
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 1172275200 1953523711 781248512 372.5G Linux filesystem
Using the guides, I have to find the UUID of /dev/sda1 using blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="3ce518e8-955d-4b26-9dde-c3819d5906d6" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="08f6658f-7432-4a48-bdbd-0ee8f16d9b91"
and define the appropriate entry in /etc/fstab. So, the content of that is now
$ cat /etc/fstab
UUID=3ce518e8-955d-4b26-9dde-c3819d5906d6 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
UUID=918a1f7d-b27c-4b82-8a10-ba0d622a37dd / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=BA35-0600 /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1
UUID=36a37d03-0ba7-4196-83ed-876e2782297e none swap sw 0 0
After running sudo mount -a, I see that my home folder becomes empty and all files are disappeared.
$ ls /home/mahmood/
$
My previous files are missing however, they exist. Since the usage of / in df -h has not been changed.
Any quick solution?
