hi. Im ready to follow this tutorial but ive two questions, Help with moving /home to different partition
Can i do this from a live usb without having to start root process - ```
systemctl isolate rescue.target ?
And my /home is on a separate partition from the OS so where does this comment go exactly ?
-If you already had /home on a separate partition before this move, then comment out the entry for that partition by putting a # in front of the line.
Yes, you can.
In the file /etc/fstab
. An example follows below. 
UUID=db2385c9-2715-408e-96b4-52086a0292fe /home btrfs ssd,defaults,noatime,nodiratime,space_cache,compress=zstd,nodev 0 0
As almost always in UNIX configuration files, any line starting with a “#” is regarded as a comment. Hence the expression “commenting out something”.
Note that this is a sample from my own system. Your UUID
, filesystem type and mount options will probably be different.
thanks for the promp reply.
I cant see the comment sign # in your description.
That’s because there isn’t one.
I only meant to give you an example of an entry for /home
in /etc/fstab
. 
Doing the procedure from a live USB is actually easier, but be sure that you move only the contents of /home
, not /home
itself.

When moving /home, remember the usermod command can make things a lot easier:
Change the user’s home directory and move the contents of the user’s current directory.
Log in as root and then type:
usermod -m -d /newhome/username username
Changing newhome for the directory you want and username for the name of the user to change.
