Hi,
First:
I could’t find proper category for my question. Please help me to find one.
Then:
I have a 240 gb ssd and I reserved about 35 gb for a second os (ubuntu). Now I want to relcaim it for timeshift backups. It is on sda1
partition flagged as boot not auntomounted with b and Manjaro is on sda2. I don’t need to backup ubuntu os and I just want to sweep it away and use for timehift backups. What is the most secure way for it? Can I just rm -r
it, update the grub and add a fstab entry mounted to, say, /mnt/timeshift
point? Since the partition is flagged as boot, is it possible?
Here are some info:
