After reading the benefits of LVM, I opted for it and now I am at the verge of regretting it.
LVM is for experienced people, we may just crash it, I have. If something goes wrong (surely sooner or later) U will wait for help like me. Better use ext3 format.

Thanks for the response. I'm afraid you've gone over my head (not so hard). I
did try to figure it out.
man label didn't help
U haven't received benefit from reading about "Label", please give it one more shot if time permits, it has long term implications (later usage).
Where do I put in those settings you suggest above? Or better, where I can go
and read up to learn what it is you are exactly suggesting? I don't really
want to add my new drive to existing lvm's (someone else's suggestion) - my
thinking is to make the new drive a stand-alone /home, which, if I understand
things correctly, will make future upgrades/reinstalls a bit more manageable.
Corrections to my thinking on these matters welcomed...
As things stand, what U intend to do are very basic, so it will be very initial chapters of learning Linux; go to
linuxquestions.org or Redhat.com.
or google "getting started with linux". Better start learned. Default would be to start with ext3 and do as suggested by Mr. Gliboa Davara.

Going to init one is two way
One , just type init one in a terminal
Two,
Prepare, I suggest that U copy /etc/fstab to /etc/myfstab and edit it in your fav editor,
In this line what U see as blanks U will have to give as tabs (AFAIR).
and here U have to very carefully "edit /etc/fstab", save the file.
Move home files to new drive -----> to /home from /home (including all hidden files).
Reboot.
Type what is in quotes at grub prompt if it comes for you,
"a 1<enter>" there is a blank before 1, else use method One
and do only
cd /etc
cp fstab fstab.bak
cp myfstab fstab <overwrite> yes
"exit" when u are done and
PS: Thread has expanded as I am writing, so pl read all !
