Revising mount point label



I have just installed RH7.2 on its own box. No
more dual booting. Anyway I created two ext3
partitions, one labeled '/' and the other '/home',
and now I have decided that I would like to move
'/home' to '/' and label/mount hda3 as 'data'. I
believe I can do this without repartitioning. I
will do this when booted to linux single so that
'/' is the only mounted partition. Do I use mke2fs
or its equivalent to remame the partition? Will
the '/home' directory be recreated on reboot? I am
not concerned about loosing any custimizations.
Should I mv '/home' to '/newhome' and then relabel
hda3. I assume that I will have to maually make a
new entry for '/data' in 'fstab' since it is not a
standard directory name.
