I am currently running Fedora 40. I want a distribution more stable, so I am considering Rocky.
I have several SSDs. boot and root are on the same physical volume and the root partition is a logical volume. /home is also a logical volume and is on a different physical volume. I have other physical and logical volumes.
Will rocky install on the logical volume currently used by the root partition and not mess with the rest of the physical and logical volumes.
I would suspect the answer is yes, but I would hate to find out otherwise after installing rocky.
Yes it’s possible, you just have to make sure you don’t format/erase the partitions. The only one you will want to format during the installation is the / (root) partition since otherwise this will be mixed with your Fedora installation. Therefore if you may have something on this partition that you need, you will need to copy it elsewhere before installing. As for the other partitions, you mark /home that you want to use for /home under Rocky and ensure that you don’t format it. And repeat for the other partitions you want to mount and use the data from.
Obviously make sure you have a backup of your data just in case you make a mistake.
