I tryed that too in the past but unfortunately it doesn't work like that. The synthax looks correct though.

I think you can only specify the partitions where  /home  and  /opt  are located.
Just  tce  can be specified to be an alternate (sub)directory.

Would be nice if we could have  /home  and  /opt  in alternate locations too, to not mess up already existing linux installations.

Misalf is correct, you cannot specify the dir for home and opt.

Hi malikawan
You could set up separate partitions for each home and point to them.
