he NOW has occupied space, but cannot get to it ....
You a re going to have to get into SINGle user mode (init 1 or init s)
then do the unmount ...... when that is done, then cd into /home. There
you will find the files/dir's you need to remove ....
DO NOT remove the directory /home ...
OR
Boot into single user mode, unmount /dev/dha7.
mv /home /<whatever>
mkdir /home
chmod 777 (or your choice of poison here) /home
then you will have OLD home called <whatever> and the new home ...

I'm very confused here. I thought that hda7 was where you wanted your new /home, so why are you trying to umount it?On Tue, 11 Feb 2003, Dr. Jones wrote:I accomplished the goal of moving my /home directory to /dev/hda7. A reboot and subsequent writes to subdirectories in /home demonstrate that the files are winding up on /dev/hda7. Here's my dilemma now: Since my /home directory made the transition over to /dev/hda7, how do I now purge /home on /dev/hda1? 'mout' shows /home mounted on /dev/hda7, and reports that it is busy if I attempt to 'umount' this point. I want to umount it so that I can then go in and remove /dev/hda1/home and thus clear the space it now occupies. Any suggestions?

That usually cleared alot of space. Its a simple way to go for now. Just mount the new partition for say /usr under say /extra. mv /usr/* /extra. umount /extra and mount the new partition as /usr. Really quite simple... The other option is to get a bigger HD and just move everything over....
