After verifying this info, you can delete the data in your original /home : Why? if you're really paranoid, you can mount the new partition on /home, even if it's not empty. That way you can test things without deleting any files. Of course once it looks good, you'll want to delet the files off the original drive to reclaim some space. As Eric pointed out, this is a safe, routine procedure. Good luck to you! -Brian
