Thank you very much for your advice. I have one more quesition. I have two hds, but becase my /home is very large, can I have /home in both hds. say hd2 is /home and some of hd1 is /home too. if i can, how can i do it? and can you give me some more suggestion how to modify the fstab.
Thank you very much again.
