  • Multi user/multi drives

    From Grease@VERT/DARKMATT to All on Thu Jan 16 12:48:42 2025
    I have two 2TB ssd's and a 4T SATA. On the SSD's I have on one, Zorin Linux operating system. On the second SSD, I have /home with user wilmil (me). On the third (SATA) I would like to have /home with user sbbs.

    Is this possible? I've been reading, and you can't have two drives with /home on it.

    If you know how to do this, help is very appreciated. Also when replying, think of mme as an guy htat doen't know anything. LOL.

    You don't need /home on two drives. You should be able to mount /home/sbbs on the third SATA. So you would mount the full dir (/home/sbbs), not just /home there.

    You could mount the first drive to /, the second drive to /home, and maybe mount the third drive to /home/sbbs? If you can't nest mounting points, you could mount /dev/sda3 to /sbbs and make a symbolic link to /home/sbbs.
