I'm running LinuxMint KDE 4.044 beta ( with KD 3.5 not 4 - 4.044
referes to Mint version)
I currently have "/home" on /hda1 within "/"
The partition is only 5 gb and I'm running out of room.
/hda3 is 10 gb and is empty and formatted ext3 ( as is /hda1).
I want to relocate /home to /hda3.
From googling I have found many explanations of how to do this, but not
all are up to date ( ie pre UUID) and others give conflicting info.
Here's what I think that I need to do (as root):-
create /home on /hda3
mount /hda3 ( it's currently mounted auto a boot)
copy /home from /hda1 to /hda3 ( cp -a /home /media/hda3/home)
rename original /home for safety until relocated home is verified to work
edit /etc/fstab - change current entry for /hda3 to:-
/dev/hda3 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount -ro 0 1
create mountpoint of /media/home ( instructions say /mnt/home but
everything else is crrently in /media)
I shouldn't need to change the UUID for /hda3 in /dev/disk/by_UUID but
will need to change th epartiton label in /dev/disk/by_label I believe.
Please confirm that the above is correct, or point out any errors if
applicable.
After lots of Web searching I've spent hours recently changing UUID's
and disk/partition labels due to moving HDs from another PC ( I
currently have 3 IDE and 2 SATA HD's plus a DVDRW in this PC) and don't
want to stuff this up.
Everything was so much easier before UUID.
Thanks
Bill
