Your old /home is still on your root filesystem, but is being hidden by
the new partition mounted there. Unmount your new home, delete the old
one, then remount the new one again.

device files (tar blows on those too). I don't think cp gets files with
holes right either (but I could be wrong).
cp does have problems with sparse files
I ran out of space on /, so I decided to pull /home into its own
partition. I created /dev/hda8 and made an ext2 file sys there.
I then mounted /dev/hda8 on /mnt, and issued 'cp -rp /home/* /mnt'
This looked good, so I changed /etc/fstab to reflect this new home
for /home, and rebooted.

'df -h /' still shows a full file sys, yet 'du -hs /home' shows over
2M. I'm assuming that 2M is still hiding under / somewhere,
2M is not really an awful lot of space, you know.
