How would it choose from 2 home partitions on other disks?
- simoncion 3mo agoA little better than how you'd handle having multiple '/home' lines in fstab? Either pick one to mount, or have the bootloader give a hint as to which one to mount (as there's apparently a whole protocol the bootloader must use for this to work). [0] But. Having said that, why would you have two home partitions on other disks? Having a bigass disk for your home partition [2] is way more common than having multiple entirely-independent Linux installs that you all want to use this automagic mount point detection on. Do you disagree? [0] > Note that automatic discovery of the root only works if the boot loader communicates this information to the OS, by implementing the (Boot Loader Interface)[1].
