Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Nov 30

I just finished this last weekend. Here is a link to a site that explains
how to have your /home partition moved to the new partition and
auto mounted.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving?action=print

Be advised that on the next last page you will be told to again edit the
fstab
to enter the new information. Before you do that unmount the /media/home
folder then proceed. Now the system may in fact be smart enough in the step
to mount -a to unmount /media/home and mount the /home partition under /home
but I would doubt it.

As for a Tutorial on doing the partitioning and all I don't know of one,
but a
google search might turn up something.

I down loaded the Gparted Live CD and burned one. I suppose you could do
all of it from the Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD but I liked the visual of the
Gparted
partitioning, very easy. Once I had my partitions created and written down
as to /dev/sda? numbers and I went ahead and labeled them while
partitioning.
Then ID'ing them was easy. Then I booted up the Ubuntu live CD and went with
the install. CAUTION: Use the custom install at the bottom of the
screen, other
wise it will want to format all of the disk. Under the custom install
you can
pick and choose the partitions you want to install to and format or not. For
instance you would not want to format the /home section after you had just
put all of your /home information there.

I took several days studying this before I did it but I am glad I went
ahead and
did it.
