Yes, since you already have a partition explicitly for /home you just need to specify custom partitioning before you begin the install, re-select all your partitions back to the same mount point (you will see them, they just need to be selected and have the mount point specified) and make sure that /home (and any other partitions you explicitly don't want wiped) are not selected for formatting. The installer will take care of the rest. snip YAY! I think this is exactly what I did at one time. OK, I'll back up JUST in case, but I am hoping this solution plays out well. :) Good fer you. Btw, coming to this thread late, let me note that this is standard for everywhere I've worked: make a partition (or nfs mount) for /home, or /data, or whatever, so that when you did an upgrade to the next full release, you could say install, rather than update, and sure, wipe my / and /boot (but not anything else). mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

For this first update we've got this from the FAQ: q.15: http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-6e2c3746ec45ac314291746676032 1e8 68f43c0e q.31 http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-dcca41e9a3d5ac4c6d900a991990f d11 930867d6 The first item is that these questions are repetitive, so I'd like to combine them in to a single answer. Second is that version numbering has expanded, so we need to cover monthly updates and so forth. Circling around on this, we ended up with the following complete rewrite that would replace q.31 and retire q.15 (thereby making q.31 in to q.30.) How does this update sound? If we're close enough, I'll push it to live at the start of next week, and we can always continue iterating on it. The text below is in Moin Moin format; I was going to do a diff between the versions but then we differed so wildly in combining and rewriting that I think a mental diff will work better. A formatted draft is here: http://wiki.centos.org/KarstenWade/GeneralFAQUpdateq31q15 Thanks - Karsten I'd say that at least the following paragraphs from q15 are worth preserving: - Any point release is just a snapshot with previous updates, plus the latest batch of new upstream updates, rolled into a new [base] repo with an initially empty [updates] repo. - There is a CentOS Vault containing older CentOS trees. This vault is a picture of the older tree when it was removed from the main tree, and does not receive updates. It should only be used for reference. After If you are using an older minor version than the latest in a given branch, then you are missing security and bugfix updates. I'd also emphasize that we offer no support for these configurations, something along: For this reason old minor releases are never supported.

Servers are better off without a separate partition for /home. Unlike
desktop installs which contain pretty much all of the user data under
/home in a server install there isn't very much user data at all and
most of the actual data is contained under /var somewhere.
That said, if you plan on having multiple users who will store some data
in their individual /home directories then /home might be in order for a
server, it all depends on your individual needs, it's just that on a
server I don't automatically create a massive /home like I would on a

Servers are better off without a separate partition for /home. Unlike
desktop installs which contain pretty much all of the user data under
/home in a server install there isn't very much user data at all and
most of the actual data is contained under /var somewhere.
That said, if you plan on having multiple users who will store some data
in their individual /home directories then /home might be in order for a
server, it all depends on your individual needs, it's just that on a
server I don't automatically create a massive /home like I would on a
desktop.
every server has a story. :-D

I assume you’re setting up dual boot between Windows and CentOS? Its generally easier to install Windows first, then set aside unpartioned space to install CentOS on after the windows install is complete. My other post in this thread tells you how to free up some space on the drive (after a Windows install) into which you can install Centos. This one tells you how to install Centos-7 into that space AND make it dual-boot with Windoze. The default Centos installation(s) do not recognize the windows installation as a bootable alternative (or at least mine didn't) and therefore do not automatically give you dual-boot capability. But here's how to solve that (I'm pretty sure this works only for Centos-7): 1. so the first step is to go ahead and install Centos in the free space. 2. boot it up, run yum update to update any packages that have been updated since your CD image was made. 3. install the epel repo for your version of Centos (presumably you're going to install Centos-7). yum install -y epel-release 4. Do yum install ntfs-3g ntfsprogs 5. Then run: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg and voila! you've now got a dual-boot Centos-7 and Windoze! do not enter the quotes when typing in the recipes above. they are here only to separate the commands from my blithering.

I think Peter addressed my concern and responded in a way that leads me to believe a /home2 as you suggest is not necessary since it will be bypassed in terms of any installation, which is what I want. advantages of /home2 is you have a user home directory for all your flavors sitting in 1 partition that will not get erased because you are allocating it's own mount point when you install. I do not have and do not want one partition for my system (files). I have ONE flavor with many partitions and mount points. A rather old school approach that's worked pretty well for me all these years. because you are using thunderbird for email client, you can set up Mail, ImapMail, News paths in there own director, same applies to firefox bookmarks, passwords, certificates, etc. such as; /home/moz/ /moz/firefox /moz/thunderbird then link them to your 'flavor' user directory. same goes for your address book files abook.mab and abook-XX.mab, and other directories and files that are not path critical. only thing that some might call a disadvantage is all moz progs will be same, unless you happen to need something in an add-on that is path specific. there are many other progs that are not 'hard set' with path names. -- MzK We can all sleep easy at night knowing that somewhere at any given time, the Foo Fighters are out there fighting Foo. -- David Letterman ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The real issue is that you cannot put /usr on a dedicated partition
anymore as of CentOS 7. This is because /bin, /lib and /lib64 are
symbolic linked in the /usr equivalents now. The (previous) purposes of
having a separate /bin and /lib was so that programs and libs required
at boot time could be run before the rest of the fs was mounted up if
/usr were on a separate partition. Now they've been consolidated and
symlinked so if you put /usr on a separate partition then the system
won't be able to access critical apps during boot.
You can thank Fedora for making that rather pointless change and
breaking that capability.

i did not. so i was just telling him if he wanted to be 'old school'
he could partition what every his heart desired. ;-)
for my 'base' os partitioning is /boot, swap, /, /home.
all additional installs are /, swap, /home. after install if/and

grub.conf into /grub of base /boot as grub.conf-newosname. then i
cut/paste lines into my main grub.conf. make notations in 'title'

Once upon a time, Timothy Murphy gayle...@eircom.net said:

What is the simplest way to do this?
I do that with sieve. Install dovecot-pigeonhole, add sieve to the
Dovecot lda/lmtp protocol list (this assumes you are using Dovecot for
local delivery), then add a sieve_before entry in the plugin section to
point to a global sieve script. I use this one (to filter based on a
header):
if header :contains X-Spam-Flag YES {
fileinto Spam;
}
Don't forget to compile your sieve script. Also, if you filter on a
header, you may need to double the filter (put the same thing twice) due
to a old Dovecot bug that Red Hat has not yet fixed:

In the past when I've done this with another Linux distro, /home was not affected. Probably... Or, would I need to do fresh install and then muck with partitioning using a Custom Layout? Right now, it's kind of looking like the latter to me, and if so, will I lose data? It is not hard to do the custom layout. Just select the 'system' filesystems (eg /, /usr, /var, /boot, and the like) and select 'reformat as whatever (ext4 usually), and set the mount points to what they were. Then select the /home (and any other 'user data' type file systems) partition(s) and select 'use as is' and give the proper mount point(s). If you take your time and are careful, you won't lose any data, but do go ahead and do careful backups anyway. You *might* want to note down any special configuration information you need to preserve (eg static IP address, a list of custom software you want to have installed, and so on). Basically the 'Custom Layout' is for two general cases: 1) you have an unformatted disk and you want to do something non-default with the partitioning. 2) you want to re-install and retain some non-system data partitions. There is a third possibility where you want to have a multiple Linux boot system (this usually means using /boot 'as is' for the second+ install, often with the installer bitching about doing that, and it usually means having way too much fun fiddling with grub.conf later), although mostly these days, you just pick one Linux distro for your 'host' and run one (or more) 'other' linuxes as VMs. I spent some time on the Forums and reading the RH documentation, but, no real answers to this specific question.

This image represents a minimal install set, that lines up with the user expectation for our Cloud Images, our ISO based Minimal installer and the default minimal install profile from the in-distro install options. Images are released for the VirtualBox and LibVirt providers ( more providers coming soon ). They are also available on the Vagrant Cloud / Atlas service at : https://atlas.hashicorp.com/centos/boxes/7 Anyone using vagrant already can get started with the following two commands : vagrant init centos/7 vagrant up The backing files are available for direct download at : * LibVirt: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7-Vagrant-1505-x86_64-01.LibVirt.box sha256: 49ac77893c1609d9d79b1b3f1fd0526d77a01cb62563c7c507099c5ab785a6f1 * VirtualBox: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7-Vagrant-1505-x86_64-01.box sha256: 572c5ce3fc4e1a1efe274f5c30bc1645240bf1702fcdcd1976e67988d04df001 * Generic Qcow2: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/vagrant/x86_64/images/CentOS-7-Vagrant-1505-x86_64-01.qcow2 sha256: 70e703fa22f09dd0257bfe0e625a33f3cf2d7a98d5264ac75fdf1aa06336d1b3 Note: this generic qcow2 file is pre-seeded with the vagrant user, and can be used to setup backing instances for more providers.

Yes, since you already have a partition explicitly for /home you just need to specify custom partitioning before you begin the install, re-select all your partitions back to the same mount point (you will see them, they just need to be selected and have the mount point specified) and make sure that /home (and any other partitions you explicitly don't want wiped) are not selected for formatting. The installer will take care of the rest. Make sure you are backed up just in case you muck things up, but it shouldn't be an issue. Peter YAY! I think this is exactly what I did at one time.
