(boot into single user mode) cd / mv /home /home.orig mkdir /home mount /home # Assumnig that fstab is fixed up to mount /dev/hda3 onto /home do a ls -l /home.orig and set the permissions on the new /home (you need to do this after the mount so that the permissions get added to the mount partition rysnc -av /home.orig/* /home/ (this will save symlink and permissions and other stuff ) then reboot once you check everything is working fine rm -fr /home.orig A > > you probably want to do that in single user mode. > >> 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. > > You're not using the uuid, so you can ignore it. > > -- > Michael Chesterton > http://chesterton.id.au/blog/ > http://barrang.com.au/ > > > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > -- "Every religion is welcomed in our country; all are practiced here." - George W.
