okay upon the first run i suppose it showed me all of the files it was
copying and then it said that 'some files or attrs were not transfered.' so
I ran it again and what do you know 4 more files were copied... then again
and 2 copied now it just says that no files or attrs were

I think I need to delete old home soon because sda1 (root with home) has 3
gig free and sda3 (/home) has 2.5 gig free. I need to delete old home (13
gig) and repartition to make space for new files on new home!

well now I need to work on the other computer a little. I wanted to move
the print server's /home to it's own partition but the partition i want to
use is too small. So, my question is what do I need to copy?
/home/user/documents i know I need but what else? I guess that is it. If
there is space I

thanks ben. As it copies it runs out of room in the destination. It seems
my home directory is larger than 13gig but the partition is only 10 gig..
It seems I have to repartition my drive again. And I thought this was going
to be difficult. Actually I didn't think I had enough free space to
well I am learning. I realized that I NEED to put the home directory on
its own partition. Take that as a warning you newbies from the
longest-newbie on this list!

I just restored my mint install and the restore is not working. I thought I
archived it with it working. What it is doing: I login with my preferred
user and enter my password and the screen blanks like it is loading the
user and then it goes back to the login screen. (like before) I
well... I know it is mounting home.. I go to /mnt/home/bmike1 and my files
are there. I know mount it to /home not/mnt/home!. Here's hoping for the
best!

I just found out it is doing something strange: it is creating my users
directory twice. So instead of /mnt/home/user and then the files, there
is /mnt/home/user/user and then the files. I found this once and
thought it was my mistake so I reran the instructions paying close
attention to doing it
Well, it almost works. While it's booting now it says:
Error occured while mounting nano
then it says to press S to skip or M to manually fix the error.
Then it goes to the login screen and if I try to login with my user the
screen blanks out and then resets back to the login screen. If I
I don't think it will affect any response you guys will offer but I changed
fstab.
I changed the mount points of the drives.

proc/proc procnodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
There is probably more to it tthan what i am about to tell you,
however this may get you going on a direction that is more digestible.
format the new partition as needed, but before mounting rename your
old home directory (aka /home) to /home.old. use mkdir to create /home
but leave it empty and
Man, that procedure is awfully complicated...
My take:
1.- Boot from any live CD (This is ALWAYS a powerful tool!)
2.- Create a filesystem in your new home partition.
3.- mkdir -p /mnt/{old,new}
4.- mount -text? /dev/sdaX /mnt/old
5.- mount -text? /dev/sdaY /mnt/new
7.- rsync -va --checksum
Well this is fun: I'm trying to move my users directory to its own
partition and am having problems doing so. I followed the directions at
this page-
