You could run into issues where the value of 'pwd' does not equal the value
of 'readlink -f .'.
For myself, I use autofs with autohome. It's been a while since I've

do this and it will be safe.
I have a symlink in the root partition to real home for 10+ years.
no risk

No, a normal boot will typically never look inside /home at all, and if
it ever does it should/will likely be quite late, definitely after
mounting /disk2.
So using symlinks like you

Alright, I did not get that.
Well, in this case, you can indeed make some symlink. In my experience,
you can either use a symlink to replace /home or to replace /home/user.

it to a different existing partition.
Can I simply move the files and then make /home a symlink to /disk2/home?
Or perhaps set up a symlink for each user: /home/user1 => /disk2/home/user1?
Do either of these run a r
