/home partition in ubuntu: root folder should “home” or account names? [closed]

Question

I am about to install Ubuntu on my computer. The user accounts I have moved to a new partition so I can asign it as the home partition during the installation.

I just have one doubt. At the root of the home-partition, what does the installation expect to find?

  • Is it a folder called home?
  • Is it directly the user account folders?
Was it helpful?

Solution

User-specific files are usually stored in /home/username. For the root user, they are stored in /root
