[gentoo-user] /usr and /home to another partition

[Matthias Langer]

I want to move the /usr and /home directories to another partition, 
because I'm thinking of buying a new HD. It would be great if both 
directories were on the same partition, as splitting drives never seemed 
very appealing to me. As far as I know, one possibility would be to 
[with the boot-cd]

# mv /usr /mnt/newHD/
# mv /home /mnt/newHD/
# ln -s /mnt/newHD/usr usr
# ln -s /mnt/newHD/home home

However, I'm not sure if this is the suggested method of doing so and to 
be honest, I'm not completley sure if this would even work.

Any comments or suggestions ?
