How to add /home to fstab?

[Kevin Brown]

  Those long strings aren't from Ubuntu. Redhat and all the others use 
them as well... They allow you to rearrange the physical drives in your 
system and not have issues booting the system back up. Like if you add a 
new drive and didn't pay attention to slave/master on IDE, or which SATA 
port each drive was connected to.
