There was a long thread about this a while back:

I didn't see any reference to this in the thread:
- doesn't /etc/passwd have to be edited for the new location?
- I'm not sure if /etc/passwd is what handles this or not, but are
there symlinks that are needed so 'cd' and applications know where ~
is?
I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Finally getting a
roundtuit.
Unless I'm reading that thread wrong, it's about moving /home to
another partition. The cool part about the *nix style disc layout is
that when you move the contents of /home and remount it, all of your
programs still find /home. If you moved drives in windows then you'd
have to edit things to reference the new drive letter (or so it was
when I last played with windows, I don't really know or care if
they've improved on that :).
Thanks Todd. So you're saying /etc/passwd does NOT have to be edited?
I failed to mention, the disk that I'm wanting to move /home to is
already mounted.
Thanks,
Mike
