Hi Bill. First thing is to make a backup of your fstab just in case. : sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak As long as you dont alter the line for your /, the worst that can happen is it will fail to mount your old home, and you can just edit and try again :) sdb2 is an extended partition, its a 'fake' partition that holds other partitions, as a work-around to overcome the 4 partition limit of days-of-yore. The sdb6 seems likely the one you want to add. Perhaps someone here can reply with their /home line to use as reference for you, Bill. Sorry I am not at any pc today, and likely not until monday. :/ Oh, and you dont have to use uuid's, those are suggested and very useful in server systems where one may swap or add hard disks regularly, but the old /dev/sdxy path is still supported and an easy alternative for home users. Just be aware that adding a new disk, depending where on the cable or bus, could alter your device points, i.e. Sda could become sdb (this behaviour can be overidden via jumper switches on the drives).
