You will want to do this in the single user mode. You will also want to
change or remove the label on the current /home partition before you
label the new one. I am not sure what would happen with two /home
labels, but I would play it safe.
When you move things, you may want to mount the current /home partition
on a tempary mount point, and have the new /home partition mounted on
/home. Depending on what you use to transfere the files, it may mess up
the symlinks otherwise.
