Suggest you use reiser or ext3 rather than ext2, but ext2 good enough.
something approximately like this might work mke2fs /dev/hda4 mount /dev/hda4 /mnt mv /home/* /mnt umount /mnt add a line to /etc/fstab: /dev/hda4 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2 then: mount /home should pick it up then when it boots. Good luck, hope that doesn't mess up your system :) On Fri, 19 Aug 2005, Russ wrote:
Hello, I'm running Slackware 10.1. I have a dual boot system with a 8G HD. I have 1.3G devoted to fat16 on hda1. 4G devoted to hda2 that contains all linux files and folders. 200M devoted to swap hda3. I just set all my free space 2.5G to a linux partition with cfdisk and made it hda4. Since I ran out of space in my home directory on hda2, I want to format my free space and move my /home directory from hda2 to hda4. Is it safe to do this? How can I do this? What should I run to accomplish this? I also figure I need to assign hda4 a file system type of ext2. Sincerely, Russ M
