Hello,
Yes, you can mount your partition on
/home, however, I would not go for/.You can mount your block storage, to a specific directory by following the steps here:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/volumes/how-to/mount/
You would just have to change the
/mnt/example_mount_pointto the directory that you want to use.Also keep in mind that if you already have files at
/homeyou would have to copy them over from the root partition to the block storage.Hope that this helps.
Best,
Bobby
