So here's what I think I'm supposed to do. I used "Add mount point" to add a third row /home. After this, I have 3 mount points (/, /boot, and /home, in that order). Under the "Device" column, I set these to "root", "sda3", and "home", resp. And in the "Reformat" column, the first two are toggled on and the third is toggled off. > > Then after going to "Review and install", I get an error "Unknown or invalid device 'BTRFS-blahblah-blah-blah-blah-blahblahblah-root/var/lib/machines' specified" (the blahs are hex digits). I thought I had it. And was I correct in choosing "Mount point assignment" instead of "Share disk with other operating system"? If /home isn't a separate partition, you likely can't preserve it. Back it up and restore post install. -- _______________________________________________ test 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
