moving home to it's own partition

Hi!
So far I have had my home folder on the root partition, but now I have 
created a new ext3 onto which I wish to move the home folder.

I tried to simply copy the files from my old home folder to the new 
folder with nautilus but I got an error message for some mozilla-file. 
Is there a some better way to do it?

And would the following line be OK in fstab once I have copied the files?
/dev/hdb7       /home       ext3    defaults        0       1

Regards,
Martin Ericsson
