Hi Garrett, Sorry for not making that clear in the first place: I want to have an *empty* /home on the slave machine, just a partition that can be mounted under /home. My /home on the slave machine is /dev/hda2d like on the slave machine albeit with a different size. (The reason is I want to clone installations having an empty /home on the slave machines that can be "populated" later on) So my problem is on how to set up a partition, say /dev/hda2d on the slave machine in order to be able to mount it as /home. -ewald
