Re: Transferring contents /home to new partition

[tskinner@globaleyes.net]

You missed the mark, my friend, in the interpretation. Basically, I fully
understand how to copy the contents of one directory to another, my
question revolves around transferring (physically) the contents of /home
from /dev/hdb2 to /dev/hdb3. The 'cp' command will not aid me in this
transition.
