Hey.

I just made a new partition in the linux installer, it was the /home partition.

Now im in and the partition is under /mnt/disk/
how do i make this seperate partition the home directory?

voidmain:
Log off and log in as root, move all the data from /home to /mnt/disk, unmount /mnt/disk, change the /etc/fstab, mount /home:

# mv /home/* /mnt/disk
# umount /mnt/disk

Assuming /mnt/disk is on /dev/hda3, change /etc/fstab from:


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

to


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

then

# mount /home

Log off and log on as a normal user where your home directory (and all other users home directory) will be on the /home partition rather than the /home directory on the root partition.

--- End code ---

Theres my fstab, im in mandrake, i changed over yesterday(sunday) so its got all this supermount shit that i dont have a clue about... a hand, anyone?

voidmain:
Apparently after creating your partition you mounted it manually on /mnt/disk. No problem, after moving the data and unmounting /mnt/disk, just insert the line I mentioned as the second line in your fstab:


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

Again, I am assuming your /mnt/disk is on /dev/hda3. Change "/dev/hda3" to whatever it *really* is. I am also assuming you created the file system on this partition as "ext3" which is what it needs to be.
