I think I will give this a shot and put the 40G back as the main drive and mount /home to the 80G. Since I've never done this before, let me know if these are the correct steps:
1. copy -a or tar /home to /oldhome.
2. partition new drive
3. mkdir /home on new drive
4. mount new drive and move the old /oldhome files to /home
5. modify /etc/fstab to include /dev/hdxx /home reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 3

I think that about does it. Does this look correct?

Thanks,
Brian
