I second that. To elaborate a little: it's quite common to copy the  
entire contents of your current /home to a new disk or partition, and  
then modify your fstab so as to mount the new disk (partition) as  
/home. In order not to leave loose ends, before rebooting into the  
"new" /home you should also rename your old /home to (say) /home.old  
and create the new mount point /home on your current drive. It may be  
necessary to do so from a live CD (or by booting into single-user  
(root) mode), if your current /home can't be renamed on-the-fly.
