First backup the data. Do not run any one of the command w/o backup.
If your new disk name is /dev/hdb, type the command fdisk /dev/hdb to create a new parition Code:
fdisk /dev/hdb Format /dev/hdb1 (assuming that you created only 1 partion) Code:
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1 Code:
mkdir /tmp/newhome Code:
mount /dev/hdb1 /tmp/newhome cd /tmp/newhome cp -avr /home . Code:
umount /tmp/newhome Open /etc/fstab and append/modify following: Code:
vi /etc/fstab Code:
/dev/hdb1 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 Goto /home directory Code:
cd /home rm –rf * http://www.cyberciti.biz/faqs/2006/0...filesystem.php http://www.cyberciti.biz/faqs/2006/0...ention-and.php
