RE: Hard Drive Crash Recovery
Not sure I understand the question. But...
If all your doing is creating a new /home directory, then simply do a
"mkdir /home" from the root as root on your other drive. Or, if the
space is not on your root drive, then make a home directory on another
drive and ln -s <path to home on other drive> /
As for swap, you need a partition formatted for swap. That means your
going to have to carve out some space from one of your drives. You can
use filesystem swap, but I have not used it and can't tell you how to
set it up.

Subject: Hard Drive Crash Recovery
I had a hard drive crash last night on one of my systems. Fortunately
only a near empty /home and the swap partition were on that drive so I
did not lose too much data.
However, I don't know how to go about remounting the /home directory and
the swap partition. Is there any way to mount the /home directory on
another drive that already has data on it, but is not full? I would
prefer not to buy a new drive if I don't have to. If I have to use
another drive what are the commands I must do to prepare it for mounting
/home and a new swap partition on it?
Thanks for all the help,
Curtis
