[ubuntu-za] Home Directory on Wrong Partition

[Bill Cairns]

I have just installed 14.04 over 13.10. (At the same time I went from 32
bit to 64 bit).

I obviously forgot to tell gparted that I wanted to keep my home directory
on its own partition because an empty "Home" is now sharing the very small
partition with the OS.

I have done some research and it seems that the easiest thing to do is to
tell the system to use the old "Home" on its separate partition as the
user's Home. So I installed gnome-system-tools and ran users-admin (why
isn't that all that stuff standard like it used to be?) and got as far as
filling in the new Home directory. But then I was stymied.

How do I point to the Home directory on the other partition? Nautilis has
it as "160 GB Volume". It is not in fstab. So what do I put in? It has
occurred to me to put in an fstab entry, but would that do the job?

I would appreciate any advice,
   Bill
