Thanks to all who provided info.

As I received Michael's reply early Sunday AM and did not recieve the SLUG digests until much later, I went with his advice.

I actually managed to get it right, and /home was relocated from /hda1 to /hda3, though the increase in storage space thus gained on /hda1 was only mb's, despite the transfer process stating that data moved was in the vicinity of 2.2 gb.

I know that /home was moved as I checked by booting MEPIS 7.0 LiveCD and checking what was where on my drives.

Interstingly, in LinuxMint, after the relocation of /home, different file managers etc provide different info.

ie:-

Konqueror, booted from the Panel's "Menu of Important System Places/Storage" shows /home on /hda3

Krusader shows /hda3 as empty and /home still on /hda1 under "/" with nothing on /hda3 - possibly a labelling issue?

Midnight Commander shows /home on /hda1 ( not as symlink) with nothing on /hda3


Thanks again

Bill
