Curious... which distro requires one to manually edit /etc/mtab? On all the distros I have seen, mount(8) updates /etc/mtab automatically when one mounts a partition. > > o Move the existing /home to /home-old (retain it till next > reboot ... just in case) > > o Reboot ... things should work. Nope it won't... you don't have a /home directory anymore, which is the mount point for /dev/hdb5 :-) You need to create a new /home after the "move" in the step above. In any case, I think the OP was looking for an LVM-like solution.
