Thanks, Roger. After having edited fstab according to your guidelines,
I issued the command

# exit

on the root prompt and I was led to my usual graphical login panel.

I did the following after having logged in:

# mount /home
mount: /home: /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-home already mounted on /home.
