Hi I have recently installed ubuntu on what was my windows partition, and am using /home on what was the data partition leaving /dev/hda7 with debian. What I need to do, is to format the debian partition as its bigger, and make this /home and move the stuff over, so ubuntu uses the bigger drive for /home user accounts etc. I am not sure how to do this formatting the drive, dragging / dropping the contents of /home to the new drive and editing fstab or mtab (or whatever) to point to the new /home mount point seems far too simple. Perhaps there is another solution, symlinks etc, not sure, sufficient to say this will leave what is now my ubuntu /home parition free for other stuff, perhaps a shared, drive, as its quite small (<10gb) i may be able to keep it as /home. andperhaps store mp3's or ogg files onit (music), so this can be a shared music source on the computer. any ideas thanks Paul -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
