Hello Community!
Got rid off LVM partitions from both of my HDD and SDD recently. Which can be seen in my older posts.
Used 'Calamares' from LiveDebian - Trixie release:I was not able to solve network card auto identification and setting during 'Install' and had to pass to 'Live Debian' feature instead. From where my trouble comes.
Could not pass over to 'Calamares' a proper partitioning sequence so that newly created partitions were distributed as per my wish between /, /home, /boot and /boot/efi accordingly.
I'm talking about these disks:in such evironment:I was trying to do a lot of monkey business with encryption and hiding '/' and '/home' so in the end it became over complicated for 'Calamares' to manage. Most possibly I've screwed it over in attempt to hide partitions behind 'luks'. Instead I got Debian installed on SSD in only one 'ext4' partition. SWAP was mounted by installation process and '/boot' was lost in the middle on the SSD. '/home' was missed out from istallation as it is placed on HDD which is managed from the 'Calamares' partition management in segregated window. Thus making it even harder to assemble in single install.
Here comes my partitioning table given by 'GParted as it is formatted for the moment, let's start with SSD on /sda:Continue with HDD on /sdb:While initial attempts to manage everything from within 'Calamares' I got several middle results starting from the last: How to get attached '/boot' and '/home' partition back to use?
