Now, I just want to be careful here. There are other ways you could achieve the same results. In SysAdmin there are many ways to skin the cat, so it is said by wise men. The following is my way:
Don't delelet/remove /home. Just say,
# umount /dev/sdb5 # mount -t jfs /dev/sdb5 /home
Hi Voytek,
Just another postscript: It seems to me you do some SysAdmin work. And as you know, SysAdmin have lots of things to remember.
In order to minimise this type of problems in the future, have a look at switching to 'udev' instead of 'devfs'. You need to have at least kernel-2.6.X, however. In Fedora Core 3 it is part of the distro and there is a strong impetus to have it become the standard in Kernel-2.7.X.
You do not need to remember whereabouts you've mounted your '/dev/sdb5' or similar. All you have to remember is that you have a '/dev/home' device. How's that for a carrot. There other good things about 'udev' that you might care about.
