I got notice from K3B that I did not have enough space in /tmp. Using
the Disks gui I saw that I had pleanty of room in /tmp, but it was
unmounted. I then opened GParted and saw that /dev/sda5 which I
partitioned for /tmp and /dev/sda7 which I partitioned for /home was not
mounted.
Partition File System Mount Point Size
Used Unused Flags
/dev/sda1 ext4 / 11.17 GiB
6.51 4.67 Boot
/dev/sda2 Extended 687.46 GiB
/dev/sda5 ext4 13.04 Gib 370.30 MiB 12.68 GiB
/dev/sda6 linux-swap 4.19
GiB 4.00 KiB 4.19 GiB
/dev/sda7 ext4 670.23 GiB 141.24 GiB 528.99 GiB
This was the first time I did a manual partitioning using an extended
scheme. I had always had /tmp and /home as primary partitions before. Is
there something about using Extended Partitions that prevent /tmp and
/home from having mount points
Is there a way I can assign them mount points now?
