Heyo znavko,
znavko--- via 写道:
And I want to know what is '28 Linux home' file system?
It's one of those systemd-only ‘standards’[0] (hence the ‘Linux’
misnomer).
Can I use it?
Yes, these subtypes are mostly ignored and treated as equivalent
the regular ‘20 Linux filesystem’ type. I don't know what happens
with software that predates/ignores this ‘standard’.
Their only use outside of systemd is to provide a hint for humans.
For example, I use ‘Linux root (x86-64)’ for my root partition
because ‘fdisk’ doesn't show partition labels by default.
Which advantages will I get with it instead of using usual '20
Linux filesystem'?
None.
Kind regards,
T G-R
