Hi,
I have the /home on its own partition, but I need to move it to the root partition without losing data,
I am not an expert but I was thinking if the following should work
1. To be on the safe side get out of x (ex: init 3) 2. Recursive copy /home to a new directory under root (ex: /to_be_home) 3. Get rid of the mount entry of /home from mtab/fstab (leave backup copy) 4. unmount /home (Possible?) 5. Rename /to_be_home to /home 6. Reboot (Ex: init 6)
This will leave your original /home partition unmounted but with all the data.
Lets see what the expert says.

Mohammad
