rsync'ed /home to other disk, can't login from that
by JZL240I-U from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5NBX0)
I had to reorganize the setup of my hard disks. So I reformatted a 1 TB hard disk with ext4, mounted it to /mnt and then used the command
Code:sudo rsync -aXHAv /home/ /mnt/hometo duplicate /home. All seemed well when looked at with dolphin and "ls -la".
This worked for the source /home in when I started all this, i.e. the source /home was rsync'ed itself from an older failing disk. Now the machine boots until the login screen. There I enter the password, the graphic login briefly vanishes and then comes back with the password field empty. Again and again...
I then logged in on a console as root and ran "journalctl -b" -- which insists that there is no /home/for-none-of-3-users. "ls -la" begs to differ ;), they are there. Anyone with ideas what's up here?
