genfstab not creating a home partition entry
I've created three partition using the cfdisk utility - root, swap and home. After, I've formatted the root and home partitions as ext4 and also the swap partition using mkswap.
After that, I mounted the root partition, created a home directory under /mnt and mounted the home partition as well. Everything went well so far.
The problem is that, after installing the base packages, genfstab doesn't create an entry for the home partition in the fstab file.
The lsblk utility shows all of the partitions just fine. What am I doing wrong? Most of the guides (none that I found) don't really mention creating a separate home partition during the installation process.
Thank you in advance.

Re: genfstab not creating a home partition entry
You can just write your /home into fstab manually. genfstab is just a helper, you don't (and shouldn't) rely on it.

That is what I thought, more or less. Thank you, I'll add the entry manually then.
