Sorry, I think I missed something in the previous messages. It seems you 
now have a home directory /home/perikli but you would prefer to use the 
files in /media/disk/perikli instead. Then the command I gave really 
doesn't do what you wanted. And it isn't that easy to change to a 
non-standard home directory.

Usually if you want to have a separate home partition, you would make an 
entry in /etc/fstab while in /media only removable media are mounted. If 
you let Kubuntu automatically mount the partition, it isn't guaranteed 
that it will always be in /media/disk. Therefore, it is better to use a 
fixed entry for the partition in /etc/fstab. The entry would be something 
like

UUID=c1aa6372-bf97-4269-b6ae-0f2de85b0a52 /home ext3 defaults 0 2

where the UUID must match the UUID of _your_ partition - don't use the 
UUID mentioned above because that is only an example (it is one of my 
partitions). For a detailed explanation of what to do with /etc/fstab see 
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab>.

But you should know that if you change the mount point of your separate 
home partition to /home, you can't access the files which are now in 
your /home/perikli any longer. So you should move those files to the 
other partition first, i.e. from /home/perikli to /media/disk/perikli. 
And if you don't move the files, they would be still there, but you could 
only access them if you unmount the separate home partition.
