It is possible, it's just a bit non-obvious how to do it. This test case explains how to to it step by step. You already have a Btrfs installation, so Setup steps 1 and 2 are done. You can go to the how to test steps. The critical steps are 9 and 10. In particular 10 is not obvious that it's creating a new subvolume for '/' and that's why the Btrfs file system isn't reformatted, and hence the existing home subvolume is retained, and just assigned to /home in the new installation. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_custom_btrfs_preserve_home And yeah we need a better way to document this than a test case. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
