one last question on partitioning ;-)

[Anurag Jalan <a_jalan vsnl com>]

Hi all,

With inputs from Kevin, Stefan on this list plus an excellent paper
from IBM's Linux library... i think i am finally confident enough 
to move my /home partition to the new drive during the weekend .

I just want to confirm one thing and thats this : once i unmount 
/home from /dev/sda4 and mount it on say, /dev/sdb1 .... would the 
space released from /dev/sda4 ( after deletion of the files ) be 
added to the / partion ( /dev/sda3 ) ? FYI /dev/sda3 is /boot 
and /dev/sda2 is the SWAP . I could use the additional space on
the / partition .

I am still working my way towards Linux Nirvana (  a long way
from attaining it though ) ....
 
Thanks for being patient ..
