Cookbook to get home into separate partition !?

[Amimusa MANoU]

Not sure at all, but I think the process is:

 - create the partition you want to use as /home
      use mkfs.ext3 and check the man page
 - set up the fstab script in /etc indicating the device, the directory
where it will be monted. Your commented line

# UUID=76a67ae2-ba51-4698-ac8d-1382b30e0e57             /home
ext3    0       2

seems to be good. Uncomment it, reboot and try

I think there is no other special action to do.

Ah! to backup your existing /home, create a temp directory (ex. /oldhome)
copy home content there and  then move it to the new /home directory.

I am not sure at all, but I did this procedure and I don't remember other
special action to do.

King regards
