Hi there!

I'd like to change my home partition from /dev/hda7 to /dev/hdb1. How
can I do that on my FC6? How can I manage labels? I don't know what
program generates 'LABEL=/home' line in /etc/fstab. I tried fwfstab
program, but it can't manage labels.

If you do not insist upon doing it by label you can simply

mv root root-orig

mkdir /dev/hdb1/home (actually wherever hdb1 is mounted)

ln -s /dev/hdb1/home home (again the mount point not the device name)

Then

mv root-orig/username root/username

I have done it and it works clean. There is also a security benefit they tell me in having linux on one drive and data on another.
