Hello Everyone,
I am a new to Fedora but have been using Linux for a while. I installed Fedora Silverblue as I like the sound of its rollback’able’ness, but I have an issue.
The install went well and I have the nvidia drivers working.
Next would like to mount my old home partition inplace of the one created when I installed.
Do i just alter /etc/fstab?.. or is there a different way in Silverblue?.. it looks like /var/home is mounted in df by fstab says /home, so I’m not sure whats going on there.
The partition I want to mount is encrypted, I assume it will prompt for the password before mounting. However I used to have a decryption key (stored in the initramfs) so the password was not required. Is there away to doing something similar in Silverblue?
Thanks for any advice, links or pointers anyone can offer.
cheers,

Copying the decryption key to /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/crypthome.key
creating a /etc/crypttab like so crypthome UUID=some-long-id /etc/cryptsetup-keys.d/crypthome.key
get the uuid from ls /dev/mapper/crypthome -al and ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -al and create an /etc/fstab entry like so
# /dev/mapper/crypthome LABEL=HOME
UUID=some-other-long-id /mnt btrfs subvol=@current
The only question that remains is how to correctly replace my home mount point… could it be as easy as altering /etc/fstab
