<p dir="ltr">Well you could just mount the home partition in the home directory and call it a day. </p>

Just installed kubuntu 12.10 (root partition only) to replace 12.04 on one<br>
of my computers, and made sure to preserve (not write over) the<br>
pre-existing /home partition. But now I have a new /home directory inside<br>
the root (/) directory, and the original /home directory is not mounted.<br>
fdisk -l shows this:<br>
<br>

<br>
So, what is the best procedure to replace the newly created /home<br>
directory and replace it with the previous (original) /home directory?<br>
Both are ext4 and both have the same owner and group names.<br>
<br>
Can I just add /dev/sda7 (the previous /home) to /etc/fstab (contents<br>
shown below) and will doing that delete/replace the new /home directory?<br>
Or are additional steps needed?<br>
<br>
joe@T60: cat /etc/fstab<br>
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.<br>
# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation<br>
UUID=864ca0e6-f82c-4394-b497-012083b40115 / ext4 errors=remount-ro<br>
0 1<br>
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation<br>
UUID=dc56632c-3c80-4f8e-87e1-2a1d65ddc281 none swap sw<br>
0 0<br>
<br>
FWIW, 'df' currently shows this:<br>
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on<br>
/dev/sda6 9611492 3895244 5228008 43% /<br>
udev 1540144 4 1540140 1% /dev<br>
tmpfs 620500 820 619680 1% /run<br>
none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock<br>
none 1551244 80 1551164 1% /run/shm<br>
none 102400 8 102392 1% /run/user<br>
<br>
Also, what is the procedure to mount /dev/sda2 (the windows7 partition) so<br>
I can access certain files on that partition.<br>
