ANd more to the point, you if you wish to delete your original /home
content, you must mount it (hda1) somewhere else, such as /mnt/tmp and
then delete it.

Hey Scott,
If you moved all the directories and files from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda7
there is simply the directory for /home that must be present in / in
order for /dev/hda7 to have a place to be mounted! Without it there
will be no /home. It takes up minimal space. SO don't worry about
it...
On
unt it so that I can then go in
and remove /dev/hda1/home and thus clear the space it now occupies.
Any suggestions?
Scott

Hi,
Ok, if I am reading your right, you now have /dev/hda7 mounted on
/home. If you try to unmount /home the system reports it as busy. Are
you logged in as anything else but root?
If you moved "mv" all directories and files that were in /home and then
mounted /dev/hda7 as /home then you are d
Excellent suggestion. I might add that init 1 should do that for you.
Thanks Tim, purple hazed that one

Here's why, and maybe I don't need to umount it.
Now, /home resides on /dev/hda7, yet, there is my old and now inactive /home
folder on /dev/hda1. I want to remove /dev/hda1/home and thus clear the
space it now occupies. I had hoped to do that by umounting /dev/hda7/home.

I have had success in installing a new hard drive(s) and moving stuff
off the old drive to the new one, and making symbolic links to the
new hard drive. Symbolic links can be a hassle, if you make symbolic
links pointing back to the original harddrive, etc. This works very
well for my /home, /var,
