Here's how I'd do it. Take a backup first! At least a couple of these |
| 13 |
commands could result in massive data loss if you have a typo. It's |
| 14 |
also pretty important that you be logged in as root, and that no user |
| 15 |
whose home directory is under /home is currently logged in. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# Create your target filesystem |
| 18 |
mkfs.ext4 $your_new_partition |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# Mount your target filesystem |
| 21 |
mount -t auto $your_new_partition /mnt/ |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
# Copy your data to your target filesystem. |
| 24 |
cp -a /home/* /mnt/ |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Verify that the data that was in /home now exists in /mnt |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
# Remove the data from /home/, as it will otherwise continue taking up |
| 29 |
space on your hard disk. |
| 30 |
rm -rf /home/* |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
# Unmount your target filesystem, |
| 33 |
umount /mnt/ |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Modify /etc/fstab to mount $your_new_partition at /home |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
# Mount your new /home |
| 38 |
mount /home |
| 39 |
