   Ubuntu home Verzeichnis in Partition ver   
   03 Dec 25 15:41:57   
   
   From: lothar.leidner@web.de   
      
   System: Dual Boot Windows 11 / Ubuntu 2204 LTS, installed on the same SSD.   
      
   To create more space, I wanted to move the Ubuntu /home directory to its   
   own partition on a second hard disk drive (HDD). I followed the Ubuntu   
   Handbook   
   https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2024/08/separate-home-ubuntu/   
   #more-47038, copied the original directory to /home_backup, and modified /   
   etc/fstab.   
      
   The result: Ubuntu no longer boots.   
      
   Now I wanted to undo everything, created a boot stick with live Ubuntu   
   24.04.3, was able to boot with it and access the hard drives, but only in   
   read-only mode. My plan was to copy the backup home directory /home_backup   
   back to /home and comment out the inserted line in /etc/fstab. Then, I   
   thought, everything should work again as it did originally.   
   My question: how can I access the partitions in write mode (from Live   
   Ubuntu) and thus implement these changes? Moving the /home directory would   
   be put on hold for the time being.   
      
   Any help appreciated
