New Partition for /home

Yet another time, I make a small sized partition for /home. And so, I took some time to go through helps and create a new partition. 1. Made a new partition by resizing an existing drive using gparted. 2. copied everything from /home using rsync --> sudo rsync -axS --exclude='/*/.gvfs' /home/. /mnt/newhome/. 3. Added the new drive as /home in /etc/fstab and removed the listing for the old /home folder from fstab file and rebooted. Here is my source link : http://www.hackourlife.com/move-home-to-a-new-partition-ubuntu-10-04/
