/home as a symlink?

[Jesper Dybdal <jd-debian-user@dybdal.dk>]

I currently have /home in the root partition.  I am considering moving 
it to a different existing partition.

Can I simply move the files and then make /home a symlink to /disk2/home?

Or perhaps set up a symlink for each user: /home/user1 => /disk2/home/user1?

Do either of these run a risk of files under /home being needed before 
/disk2 is mounted (it is in fstab)?

Thanks,
Jesper
