Full Discussion: Shell command to print full path to current home directory
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Shell command to print full path to current home directory Post 303045911 by apmcd47 on Friday 17th of April 2020 08:24:22 PM

So basically you want to confirm that /home is on the /mnt/linux_data partition rather than /? You could check out the stat command:
Code:
stat -c%d "${HOME}"

This will give the device number of the partition you are on in decimal. By comparing it with, say, the device number of / you know whether it is on the root or a different partition. Unfortunately stat doesn't give access to the UUID of the device (that I could see, anyway).

While this doesn't in itself confirm that the home directory is mounted on the correct partition, once you have the correct device number you could write a script with that id preloaded into the script.


Of course, all this will have to be done with a script or on the command line, and not, as you initially wished, in the file manager (Dolphin).

systemd-veritysetup-generator

SYSTEMD-VERITYSETUP-GENERATOR(8)			   systemd-veritysetup-generator			  SYSTEMD-VERITYSETUP-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-veritysetup-generator - Unit generator for integrity protected block devices

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-veritysetup-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-veritysetup-generator is a generator that translates kernel command line options configuring integrity protected block devices
       (verity) into native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will create systemd-
       veritysetup@.service(8) units as necessary.

       Currently, only a single verity device may be se up with this generator, backing the root file system of the OS.

       systemd-veritysetup-generator implements systemd.generator(7).

KERNEL COMMAND LINE

       systemd-veritysetup-generator understands the following kernel command line parameters:

       systemd.verity=, rd.systemd.verity=
	   Takes a boolean argument. Defaults to "yes". If "no", disables the generator entirely.  rd.systemd.verity= is honored only by the
	   initial RAM disk (initrd) while systemd.verity= is honored by both the host system and the initrd.

       roothash=
	   Takes a root hash value for the root file system. Expects a hash value formatted in hexadecimal characters, of the appropriate length
	   (i.e. most likely 256 bit/64 characters, or longer). If not specified via systemd.verity_root_data= and systemd.verity_root_hash=, the
	   hash and data devices to use are automatically derived from the specified hash value. Specifically, the data partition device is looked
	   for under a GPT partition UUID derived from the first 128bit of the root hash, the hash partition device is looked for under a GPT
	   partition UUID derived from the last 128bit of the root hash. Hence it is usually sufficient to specify the root hash to boot from an
	   integrity protected root file system, as device paths are automatically determined from it -- as long as the partition table is
	   properly set up.

       systemd.verity_root_data=, systemd.verity_root_hash=
	   These two settings take block device paths as arguments, and may be use to explicitly configure the data partition and hash partition
	   to use for setting up the integrity protection for the root file system. If not specified, these paths are automatically derived from
	   the roothash= argument (see above).
