From the views below I conclude that my Documents will be saved on the smallest partition, instead of on the largest.
If that is correct, how do I make Zorin save my Documents on the largest partition?
How did You set up Your Partitions during the Installation?
I dont know. I let the Zorin install take care of all of that, as th eonly OS on my system.
Could you take a screenshot of your disk either in Disks or gParted? Just so we can see what partitions might have going on here
Ok. So what I think I'm seeing here is simply that you view your /home/bluedot, and see that it seems to show that you're at "100%" of your home folder, but that's not true. What it's telling you is a breakdown of the data that is located within that location.
You could get to that location through the second link to your "/" device, where it has 112.2 of 125GB remaining. You could open that, then go to your home through there, and it would show you a percentage based on the whole drive, not just your /home/bluedot location.
Your Partition mapping seems to confirm this, as you only have the EFI partition and the filesystem partition (the EXT4 partition being where your /home information would be located). A little confusing on a first glance if you're not used to it, but it appears to me that that's what's going on here.
I realised from your post that I only screenshot some of the partitions. Here they are:
and
clicking the Filesystem Root-link leads me to
which is also presented as
clicking on Home, BlueDot, Documents leads me to
Does that mean that my Documents are indeed saved on the big empty partition?
Yes, that shows the same thing. Basically what the location Percentage when you click your Home Folder is telling you is where that data is within those locations (to a total of how much is in those locations), not your whole drive. That's what the second entry tells you.
I think I understand the Devices & Locations-screenshot in my first post now.
The folder is a folder, not a partition.
And that folder lives in Partition 3, visible in my fourth post.
Am I interpreting correctly?
Yes, that's exactly what it's showing you.
Excellent, thank you!
No reason to redirect my Documents then.
Time to load them from the backup-disk ![]()
