[solved] Reset Home folder

My home folder is at /dev/sda8 (Directory: /) - same disk as / (filesystem)
I want to change it to /dev/sda7 (Directory: /media/home)

How can i make this?

Re: [solved] Reset Home folder

Format /dev/sda7 then copy all files from your /home to /dev/sda7 (mounted as whatever) then modify /etc/fstab so that /dev/sda7 gets mounted as /home then reboot.

Edit: you don't have to format /dev/sda7 if it is formatted already, of course.
