changing /home directory to another partition

[fingers99]

Still having these problems? Do you get error messages when you edit /etc/fstab?

Mr. Ed,

I can get around the editing problem of the FSTAB file. My problem is ... when I reboot, knoppix REBUILDS the file removing my changes. This is a PIA!

I found myself having these problem in a HD install of 3.6 until I put my entry before the "made by knoppix" line:

like this:

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/dvd /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdaudio /cdaudio iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc3 /home ext3 auto,exec 0 0
/dev/hda /mnt/mp3 ext3 auto 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdc2 none swap defaults 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/hdd1 ext2 noauto,users,exec 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdd2 none swap defaults 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdd3 /mnt/hdd3 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0

If you're going to do this and a "mount -a" you need to # out the entry made by Knoppix.

My understanding is that the /etc/fstab entries will be re-written by Knoppix if it doesn't find an entry before the # Added by KNOPPIX.
