hey, im purchasing a 16.8gig new ibm deskstar HD.. and am partitioning it like this: 8gig VFAT Win32 4gig VFAT Win32 4gig Linux Native
what i wanna do is mount the linux native part to /home/ while keeping all the current files in /home/ in tacked, and having all the user privelages and stuff remain the same.. so that everything works normal... can anyone tell me the best way to do this? i was thinking among the lines of: tar -vcf home.tar /home/ rm -rf /home/ mkdir /home mount /dev/hdb3 /home tar -xvf home.tar will that work? then what files would i have to edit besides /etc/fstab? well plz let me know remember i wanna keep all permissions and that in tact, AJ
