Does the /home stacked on /root?

dead101 · 2022-10-24 13:59:56

I have installed Arch on LVM. I created two Logical Volumes named /root and /home. Then I installed the system on /root. Now as the /root grows fast, I feel like /home has placed on /root. Is that true? or are they two different partitions now?

PS: I'm really sorry if this is a dumb question

In my opinion this is a dumb question. Open a partition manager or such like and see what's what.

check if your /etc/fstab is correct, also use lsblk to see which device is in which mountpoint currently.
by /root you mean the "/" mountpoint? what the size you gave it?
being on lvm doesn't matter here (except easier resize later)

for seeing what take space you can use tools like ncdu.

It's not a dumb question, but one only the OP can answer and the question the OP *wanted* to ask was "how can I see what partition is where and how much is it used" and the answer to *that* question is

lsblk -f

There are two directories called "the root directory".

/ is called the root directory
/root is also called the root directory

In my opinion, this makes Linux very confusing for new users.

What is the size (GB) of the two Logical Volumes?

Also, you can see the active mounts by using the "mount" command. What is the output of that command?

Mayhaps we should call them the root directory and root's directory, respectively?
