Hi,
I am currently in the middle of a house move, and hence don't have access to most of my books, etc.
Can somebody please point me to a good resource for relocating /home to a separate partition. I've already created the partition, but I am not sure about the sequence of actions to copy the content of /home to the new partition.
It's pretty simple. 1. Mount your new partition somewhere, like /mnt 2. Copy the entire contents of your current /home to /mnt midnight commander makes this easy 3. Change your /etc/fstab to reflect that /home is on /dev/hda? It should look something like this: /dev/hda8 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 4. Reboot or init 1 then back up. -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
