Do a copy (cp) not a move (mv) ! It's a whole lot safer. Then you can
delete the old directories when you're *sure* you're system's *not*
messed up.
cp -R /home /mnt/b1/
I'm guessing you've already edited fstab in your /etc partition to
automount the new partitions under ./mnt/. Otherwise, try a manual mount
as root first:
mount /dev/b1 /mnt/b1
(assuming you've created /mnt/b1 with mkdir first)
I know, I know, you knew all that *but*.....
