    problems with mounting home on seperate partitioin

    I have tried this like a million times and can not get it working. I did it the way on the website and i have tried it by editing the .knofig file on install.
    When i try changing it by copying the original home to the partitiona and then editing the /etc/fstab file it still uses the original home directory. The only way i can get it to work is by maually mounting the home directory after startup.
    this is the line i put in my etc/fstab
    /dev/hda3 /home auto rw,auto,user,exec 0 0


    When i tried editing the HD_MAP on the installation when i boot up it wont load kde because it has problems with permissions.

    Can someone please help, this should be a simple proecedure but it is driving me nuts.

    Thanks

    /dev/hda3 /home auto rw,auto,user,exec 0 0
    Should be:

    /dev/hda3 /home ext3 rw,auto,user,exec 0 0

    or reiserfs, depending on what filesystem you chose during installation.

    Or simply
    Code:
    /dev/hda3	/home	ext3	defaults	0 0
    'or reiserfs, depending on what filesystem you chose during installation.'

    note: tabulators make your fstab much better readable, esp. when setting to equivalent of 8 spaces...
