Moving the home directory to a new drive
- by Mellowcandle
I have no more space left on my hard-drive.
So I bought a new one and I would like this hard-drive to be the home folder.
I thought of copying all the stuff I have on the home folder to the hard-drive partition.
and creating a symbolic-link from ~ to there.
The problem I have is that I can't really delete the home folder while I'm logged in as the current user.
Is there a way to log out, and log in as root in Linux Mint?
I want to be able to do this without a live-CD solution.
