moving /home

[Anil Kumar Sharma]

Replace #LABEL=/home with /dev/sda1, in the line that u have to edit in
/etc/fstab
if your volume to be mounted is not labelled.

Full line will look like
/dev/sda1     /home  ext3    defaults 1 2
     these blanks are single-tabs (preferably)

http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html                         (ext2
-> ext3)
