/home and I wanted to make sure that the version I was looking at in dolphin through the home icon was at the location I was expecting.
As I understand it, when the OS can't find
/home where you have specified, the OS will create a
/home under
/ . If you then specify a new
/home in a different location (partition etc), the original
/home under
/ will still exist but not be accessible. I wasn't sure how to tell which
/home I was looking at. Later, I was curious as to why I couldn't find a simple way find that information and decided to post a question.
I have another related issue I am trying to resolve. I will make another thread about that this afternoon but I first wanted to confirm that my fstab entries were mounting
/home where I wanted it.
