Just installed kubuntu 12.10 (root partition only) to replace 12.04 on one
of my computers, and made sure to preserve (not write over) the
pre-existing /home partition. But now I have a new /home directory inside
the root (/) directory, and the original /home directory is not mounted.
fdisk -l shows this:
Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders, total 195371568 sectors

/dev/sda7 87382016 195371007 53994496 83 Linux
So, what is the best procedure to replace the newly created /home
directory and replace it with the previous (original) /home directory?
Both are ext4 and both have the same owner and group names.
Can I just add /dev/sda7 (the previous /home) to /etc/fstab (contents
shown below) and will doing that delete/replace the new /home directory?
Or are additional steps needed?
joe@T60: cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# / was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=864ca0e6-f82c-4394-b497-012083b40115 / ext4 errors=remount-ro
0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=dc56632c-3c80-4f8e-87e1-2a1d65ddc281 none swap sw
0 0
FWIW, 'df' currently shows this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 9611492 3895244 5228008 43% /
udev 1540144 4 1540140 1% /dev

none 1551244 80 1551164 1% /run/shm
none 102400 8 102392 1% /run/user
Also, what is the procedure to mount /dev/sda2 (the windows7 partition) so
I can access certain files on that partition.
