for example i had to move all data form /dev/hda6 (my previous /home) to
/dev/hda3 (newly created)

#mkdir /mnt/oldhome
#mkdir /mnt/newhome

#mount /dev/hda6 -t ext3 /mnt/oldhome
#mount /dev/hda3 -t ext3 /mnt/newhome

#cp -r /mnt/oldhome/* /mnt/newhome



Be careful here!! In the shell the '*' does NOT find/copy hidden files or folders (those whose name begins with a "." such as " .bashrc".


To confirm that a simple comparison of the results of "ls -d *" and "ls -d .*" in your home directory will show the difference.


I would recommend rsync for this

rsync -ap /mnt/oldhome/ /mnt/newhome
