Re: Pulled /home from / to New File Sys

["Rev. DeFiLEZ" <rev@calimport.faerun.net>]

go to single user mode (not REALLY nessessary but good idea)

umount /home

cd /home
rm -r
mount /dev/blah /home

go back to multi user mode


ps you should you you cp -a when coping files (preserves link, rights, and owners)
