Why do you want to do this exactly? Perhaps you need more space for your /home/<username> ? If this is the case why not just either:
A: move your /home to its own partition w/ cp -a
or
B: create a dir in ~ and work in there instead?
It's best to keep user to his/her own directory. It isn't necessary to add a directory to the / filesystem.
For example all software that I compile lives in its own partition (/dev/sda5) mounted by /etc/fstab with a mount point of
Code:
/home/<username>/Apps
What exactly is Home Browser anyway? Konqueror?
Maybe you could explain further your situation and what you wish to accomplish? |

Assuming that your new partition is hdb1 and it is formatted with reiserfs, then, log in as root and,
mv /home /bkp (this moves your current home directory to /bkp)
mkdir /home (to create a new, empty /home)
mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdb1 /home
cp -a /bkp/* /home (this copies the contents of /bkp to the partition in /home)
Edit your /etc/fstab file by adding the line:
/dev/hdb1 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0
Now log in as user.
Another way is to mount your new partition in your current home:
Assuming your user name is aYie28, create a new directory in your home, thus (as user)
mkdir ~/work
Then edit /etc/fstab (as root) to include:
/dev/hdb1 /home/aYie28/work reiserfs defaults 0 0
then,
mount /home/aYie28/work
viola! |
