    If you are using persist_root or p_static_root, then you are saving the whole system in the “root” persistence (no separate /home persistence file).

    If you use persist_all or persist_static, then you are prompted to make a homefs mounted at /home. This home persistence is always “static,” that is, saved immediately to the disk, separately from any root persistence you may (or may not) have.

    SO: this homefs (home persistence file) is kept between & through all remasters. Using persist_all, persist_static or persist_home, you can omit saving your /home directory when you remaster, if you want to save the disk space (because your homefs will be mounted at /home, so any files saved there in your remaster will be effectively “hidden” behind the mount point).

    HOWEVER: if you are using persist_root or p_static_root, (or no persistence at all), then YOU DO NOT HAVE A SEPARATE homefs. That’s when you DO need to save /home in the new remaster.
