    use /home partition

    In my old installation I have a separate "/home" partition.
    Now, I have installed a new version of Debian.
    The /home directory has been created in the same partition as the
    mount point.
    I can mount the old home partition, but is there a way
    to make debian point directly to the old separate /home partition

    Thanks

    you can do it with ease
    post the fstab file in /etc folder
    life is the greatest opportunity that the nature had given you

    add /home partition in /etc/fstab file.
    Code:
    /home    /dev/<partition>   ext3    defaults 0  0
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
