| WillStewart[m] | Before a new fresh install of 22.04, I backed up my /home with grsync and several other root level directories. I have a / partition for the os, and a partition for /home. When installing from a live USB, I did not see an option for "install 22.04, keep home files", so I installed with the most likely option (which I did not take a picture of). So now I have a fresh install of 22.04 studio, and empty directories for documents, | 13:51 |

| WillStewart[m] | I can't tell if my /home partition has been overwritten (it appears to have the same level of 'used' space as it did before), nor do I know on which partition the current empty /home/will directories reside. | 13:51 |

| WillStewart[m] | Update: I opened Dolphin and looked at the properties for Documents, and it notes 42G of free space, so that means my new empty /home is pointed to the OS partition, not the partition with my previous /home. Does this mean there is a way to redirect to the existing /home partition? From "sudo blkid", the /home partition is; | 15:32 |

| WillStewart[m] | I suspect (but am not sure) that I should follow the instructions starting at "Setup Fstab" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving , though that is a guess on my part. Can anyone please confirm? | 15:35 |

| WillStewart[m] | I suspect (but am not sure) that I should follow _some_ of the instructions starting at "Setup Fstab" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving , though portions of it are intended strictly as a move, not a redirect/repointing.

| Eickmeyer | WillStewart[m]: I'm not available right now, nor is anyone else here, but if you go to #ubuntu:libera.chat there are people available there. This isn't your only source for help. | 15:40 |
| WillStewart[m] | Eickmeyer: thanks, is that the normative room now for Ubuntu Studio support? | 15:49 |
| Eickmeyer | WillStewart[m]: Ubuntu Studio is an official flavor of Ubuntu. #ubuntu supports all flavors of Ubuntu equallly. | 15:50 |
| Eickmeyer | It's a room that can be used, but normative is not a word I'd use. | 15:51 |
| Eickmeyer | WillStewart[m]: But pro-tip: don't put your message in too-long of a message, it gets truncated on the IRC side and people get angry. | 15:52 |
