/dev/sda3 on /run/media/siefke/data type ext4
(rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)
Has someone a advice for me? Thank you.
Here's how I'd do it. Take a backup first! At least a couple of these
commands could result in massive data loss if you have a typo. It's
also pretty important that you be logged in as root, and that no user
whose home directory is under /home is currently logged in.
# Create your target filesystem
mkfs.ext4 $your_new_partition
# Mount your target filesystem
mount -t auto $your_new_partition /mnt/
# Copy your data to your target filesystem.
cp -a /home/* /mnt/
Verify that the data that was in /home now exists in /mnt
# Remove the data from /home/, as it will otherwise continue taking up
space on your hard disk.
rm -rf /home/*
# Unmount your target filesystem,
umount /mnt/
Modify /etc/fstab to mount $your_new_partition at /home
# Mount your new /home
mount /home

:wq
