Sorry I have no idea what you mean. Checked what out? And what was it originally if it is still the same? And as I wrote: "... looks like it's been created exactly as you wished. The partitioning is not your problem." What is the content of /etc/fstab?

Please don't send me a second copy of the mail; I'm subscribed to the list. Your image shows that you have three persistent partitions: /dev/nvme2n1p1 - /boot/efi - vfat /dev/nvme2n1p3 - / - btrfs /dev/nvme1n1p1 - /home - btrfs So that all looks like it's been created exactly as you wished. The partitioning is not your problem. I'm sorry but I don't know what might produce messages about HOME not being found, or the reasons for that. Maybe somebody else can help? And I never use KDE :( PS BTW, if your computer has network access then using that to copy files to another machine that has email might save you having to take photos and post images.

How to create /home BTRFS subvolume on a second disk during installation?
Dear Debian users and developers, I would like to know if it’s possible to create the /home BTRFS subvolume on a second disk (nvme, etc.) during expert installation? If so, how? The reason I ask is because I was following this YouTube video (https://youtu.be/MoWApyUb5w8) and I have tried to do the partition table first (/ on first disk and the /home on the second disk, both BTRFS), then Ctrl + Alt + F2 to the Debian installer shell to create some BTRFS subvolumes on the first disk similar as in the video. The subvolumes for the first disk that I created were @ (for /root), @cache, @log, and @tmp. After I finish, I proceed to do a minimal installation of Debian. Once I reboot after the complete installation and login through terminal I get a message that HOME is not found and sets HOME=/ (which is very odd since the partition was done). I tried to install the minimal KDE Plasma and tried to login to see what occurs. But can’t login to the desktop because it takes me right back to the login screen. Can someone please help me on this? Thank you for your time and help.
