I tried to re-install KDE with a separate partition for /home AND btrfs for root. At the time of installation, the single partition was btrfs, but when I was done with the installation, root was on ext4 and /home on btrfs. There wasn’t a way to specify the format when I was replacing a partition (r…

Thanks. I found out the UUID for the sda3 partition. I went into fstab and entered the UUID for sd3, moved the options for /home from sda2 and put them in sda3. Then all hell broke lose :wink: I had to reinstall the live kde to start over I’m not sure how to have my system recognize and shift to…
