I want to move /home directory to a new partition (save drive). |

|

I have 1-SSD drive: |
4 |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% |
5 |
/dev/sda4 916G 405G 464G 47% / |
6 |
|
7 |
|
8 |
Home directory is on it taking about 360GB |
9 |
|
10 |
I was planning doing it in stages. |
11 |
|
12 |
Stage-1 |
13 |
Using Gparted to resize "/" portion shirk it to about 450GB |
14 |
create new ext4 partition for /home /dev/sda5 |
15 |
|
16 |
Boot-strap the PC with live-gentoo |
17 |
mv /home /home.org |
18 |
mkdir /home |
19 |
mount ext4 /dev/sda5 /home/ |
20 |
|
21 |
cp -rp /home.org/* /home/ |
22 |
|
23 |
edit fstab: |
24 |
/dev/sda5 /home ext4 default 0 0 |
25 |
reboot and test home |
26 |
|
27 |
Am I missing something? |
28 |
If everything works, remove /home.org |
29 |
|
30 |
Stage-2: |
31 |
With Gparted resize both root and home portion, giving root about 200GB and rest to /home (dev/sda5) |
