Sorry, but it is hard to evaluate something that I've simply had to work past. I found later that if a partition has a /home on it, later installs want to use it as well, so there are a lot of trampled on areas between them. Now I do a mount of each partition by hand and a mkdir /media/[part]/rhome, then a mv /media/[part]/home /media/[part]/rhome, and that tucks my /home up under /rhome. Later, when the other installs are done, I go back through the partitions and do either a mv back, or I use a cp -R to copy each /home back and yet keep a copy under /rhome.
The snag for most people will be something like .gvfs, which won't respond to most commands, or VirtualBox, which might need an extra tweak or two with the .VDIs. .gvfs is actually rather easy, as you just use umount -fl ~/,gvfs, then follow that with a rm -R ~/.gvfs. The stuff I am doing is rather bruthish forcing a change in procedures. I get into really doing some scripting, I should be able to automate some of this. Not happy about the UUID for partition identification, but I am working on reworking the /etc/fstab entries to go by partition reference. Grub2 is going to be a challenge as well. Anyway, there is lots to be done still. I want to see if TWAIN is supported enough to let me work with my scanner. We may just see something here. That jump from Grub to Grub2 is rather nasty, meaning old stuff on first, then add new which forces the conversion. -- Two Separate 9.10 Installs Clobber UserID or Password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524659 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
