Question #46718 on Ubuntu Eee changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee/+question/46718

PJO proposed the following answer:
I tried the following which I found here
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=30085

sudo su (obtain root priv)

mv /home /home.bak
mkdir /home
mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /home
cp -a /home.bak/* /home

add

/dev/sdb1 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 2

to /etc/fstab

but it didn't work. Not sure what I've done wrong :-(

I've seen "cp -r --preserve=all" used instead of "cp -a".

logging in as root in safe mode and running df doesn't show /dev/sdb1
mounted I think the problem may be in the fstab edit ??
