I'd like to use this drive exclusively for /home. Currently /home is a link to /usr/home. Can I just mount (haven't done it yet) the new drive with the mount point /home then delete the symlink (?) and move the files from /usr/home to /home? Or do I need to delete the symlink first and only then try to mount the new drive as /home? Can it break something? Is the procudure safe? Thank you in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot
