Not sure I understand the question. But... If all your doing is creating a new /home directory, then simply do a "mkdir /home" from the root as root on your other drive. Or, if the space is not on your root drive, then make a home directory on another drive and ln -s <path to home on other drive> /
As for swap, you need a partition formatted for swap. That means your going to have to carve out some space from one of your drives. You can use filesystem swap, but I have not used it and can't tell you how to set it up. -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Spencer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Hard Drive Crash Recovery I had a hard drive crash last night on one of my systems. Fortunately only a near empty /home and the swap partition were on that drive so I did not lose too much data. However, I don't know how to go about remounting the /home directory and the swap partition. Is there any way to mount the /home directory on another drive that already has data on it, but is not full? I would prefer not to buy a new drive if I don't have to. If I have to use another drive what are the commands I must do to prepare it for mounting /home and a new swap partition on it?
