Hi Michael,

This is exactly what I wrote 2 minutes after that :-) the OP did write that he test mounted with /dev/sdb (as it would be for a CD etc.).

Regarding fdisk –l, the OP also wrote that he installed another drive and that he wishes to move /home over to it, so this does look straight forward.

The reason I suggested fdisk –l is to verify what is the correct partition number to be used in /etc/fstab.
