I have several partitions and want to move my /home to another partition. How to do this and make it work properly? I've tried this( / is in /dev/hda3): mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 /home But I couldn't execute any script in the new '/home',even as root. BTW: I noticed that some directories have a strange mode, e.g. drwxrwsr-x. What does the 's' mean? System directory? Why all the documentation I read don't mention it?
