Merging home directories

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 948 / 3 Years ago, sat, june 26, 2021, 12:43:34

Here's the thing. I did a fresh install of 11.10. I created a separate partition for /home and another for /. I then installed 11.04 on the / partition. Now I still have the /home on the separate partition and the home dir that came with 11.04. How do I merge the two or replace the 11.04 home directory?

Try this command:

sudo rsync -vaEW /path/to/old/home /path/to/new/home

This will effectively sync the two directories.
