Stayler: I accomplished the goal of moving my /home directory to /dev/hda7. A reboot and subsequent writes to subdirectories in /home demonstrate that the files are winding up on /dev/hda7. Here's my dilemma now: Since my /home directory made the transition over to /dev/hda7, how do I now purge /home on /dev/hda1?
'mout' shows /home mounted on /dev/hda7, and reports that it is busy if I attempt to 'umount' this point. I want to umount it so that I can then go in and remove /dev/hda1/home and thus clear the space it now occupies. Any suggestions?
