YET another POV (YAPOV!); To be "safe" (THIS IS UNTESTED! BEWARE ;-)
with one little difference...
$ cd /home
$ tar --create --remove-files - * | \
tar --directory="$(cygpath -u -H)" --extract -
$ mount "$(cygpath -w -H)" /home
i.e. what I've attempted to describe here is, line by line:
1 - work from any existing "/home" (assumes "/home/" exists!)
2 - move any files to the new position
3 - reposition /home
NOTE for the diff: leave /home/ as an empty directory, thus it WILL show up
with "ls" and in name completions (will work for anything *in* /home too)
and whatever you try...
