Yes don't use /home from the first  disk, edit /etc/fstab to ensure that
whatever partition is you want for /home is mounted.
Please post the results of your fdisk -l command

Here's mine:

$ fdisk -l

Here's my fstab:
 /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/md0        /               xfs     defaults        0       1
/dev/md1        /boot           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/mapper/home-home /home           xfs     defaults        0       2
/dev/md4        /tmp            xfs     defaults        0       2
/dev/md2        none            swap    sw              0       0


Here's how home was setup in lvm
sudo pvdisplay 
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/md3
  VG Name               home
  PV Size               275.57 GB / not usable 0   
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size (KByte)       4096
  Total PE              70547
  Free PE               0
  Allocated PE          70547
  PV UUID               2L3F4z-Urkc-npw6-mZ3P-85TZ-8RS8-C3fLue
   
sudo lvdisplay 
  --- Logical volume ---
  LV Name                /dev/home/home
  VG Name                home
  LV UUID                5pK8Hu-SOI2-ZmWH-Pdsv-isrl-ZHMZ-n3MzsQ
  LV Write Access        read/write
  LV Status              available
  # open                 1
  LV Size                275.57 GB
  Current LE             70547

  Allocation             inherit
  Read ahead sectors     0
  Block device           253:0


Hopefully these will help.
