<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Normally I prefer not to have a separate home partition, but forgot to delete it<br>
during F18 installation. I used the following procedure to get rid of it and<br>
give the space back to the root partition, while preserving the contents of<br>
/home:<br>
<br>
cd /<br>
tar cvf home.tar home<br>
umount home<br>
lvremove /dev/mapper/fedora-home<br>
lvextend -l +100FREE /dev/mapper/fedora-root<br>
resize2fs /dev/mapper/fedora-root<br>
tar xvf home.tar<br>
<br>
After this, the contents of /home are back in place, and the output of<br>
vgdisplay, lvdisplay, and fdisk -l look normal. But after rebooting, I get<br>
<br>
[ OK ] Started monitoring of LVM2 mirrors, snapshots etc. using dmeventd or<br>
progress polling.<br>
Timed out waiting for device dev-mapper-fedora\x2dhome.device.<br>
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for /home.<br>
<br>
and a few more errors and then am dropped to an emergency prompt. Obviously<br>
something on my system thinks the home partition still exists, but I can't find<br>
it. What did I do wrong? Or is this a bug?<br>
