Currently my /home partition and / are on different disks (configured at install time). Can anyone guide me to move the /home directory to the disk where my / currently resides in?

  1. Create a new folder /new_home.

  2. Use rsync to migrate all data from /home into /new_home. (See instructions at wiki)

  3. Edit fstab to remove the mount for /home/

  4. Unmount /home/

  5. Delete /home (This only deletes the empty folder)

  6. Rename new_home to home



You may need to resize your partitions to make space for your new home directory using gparted. Also gparted can help you reclaim space after moving home.
