my hard drive has /home on a different partition

how to I use 'bash' when /etc/shells already shows me using /bin/bash?

vim /home/dio/.bashrc
alias clearl="clear && ls -l"
~$ clearl
-bash: clearl: command not found
in terminal
~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

so I change to bash anyway:
~$ bash
~$ clearl (works fine)

I've done this:

chsh -s /bin/bash
password ***
no luck

but I can type bash manually and I'm goold

~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/dio/sh:/home/dio/


cat ~/.bashrc
alias clearl="clear && ls -l"
