I relocate my /home/user to another partition with /etc/fstab.

rootfs is on my SSD with the "original" /home/user folder.
I located /home/user to a SD-card.

Why does the system not called the .profile in my new /home/user? Instead it calls the .profile in the SSD/home/user. It seems that the .profile is called before the mount of home/user is done. Why?

This is the entry in my fstab:

/dev/mmcblk1p1 /home vfat defaults,nofail,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,uid=user,gid=user,umask=022,user,exec 0 2

So the new mountpoint is also /home I thought this is enough to redirect the home directory

What can I do? Delete the .bashrc, .profile at SSD/home/user?

Thanks

    Did you change your new home in /etc/passwd?

Ok, I solved my problem. There was also a .bash_profile in my home directory. After I deleted it everything works.

  • Note that your home directory is the directory listed for your user in /etc/passwd (also visible in the output of getent passwd). Since you say you are trying to relocate your home directory to some other partition, your answer is unclear when it refers to "my home directory".
