I was running Fedora 33 and updated to 35.When I did that my home folder was on a separate partition not formatted. Now my home directory on the new install is different. Haven't had this issue before on new releases so clearly I did something wrong but how do I change my directory to the old home directory?

Why I am at it how do you the delete the one just created for the new release install?

Hi,
Edit /etc/passwd
Same way that you would delete any other directory (assuming I understood the question).

Evo2.

Does new install mean you installed from scratch? I know it is possible to upgrade over 2 releases but it isn't obvious whether this was an in place upgrade or fresh install?

On my Fedora 34 VM the installer defaults to BTRFS with sub-volumes. I have not played with all of the install options but if you had a separate /home partition but did not do a manual partition I would assume that the partition would not be used. I believe that Fedora 33 also defaulted to using BTRFS but not sure it it used sub-volumes.

Without knowing exactly how your drive is partitioned its a bit difficult to say how to proceed.

I would expect that /etc/passwd home to be /home/username its just that we do not know where home is located at the moment...

I was able to solve it but noted. I will try and be more specific next time.

So what was the solution? Can you please edit it into your last post in case anyone else runs into the same problem. Then mark the thread as solved.
