moving home to /dev/sda6

[Michael Havens]

well now I need to work on the other computer a little. I wanted to move
the print server's /home to it's own partition but the partition i want to
use is too small. So, my question is what do I need to copy?
/home/<user>/documents i know I need but what else? I guess that is it. If
there is space I  suppose Downloads too. And to get it to see /dev/sda3 as
the new location for documents I would 'export
/home/<user>/documents=/mnt/sda3/documents. Copying the documemts would be:
'rsync -va --checksum /mnt/home/documents /mnt/sda3. does this sound right?
