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. Jim Kelly-Rand
