sudo mkdir /mnt/root /mnt/newhome
sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/root
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/home

sudo rsync -vaxHAX /mnt/root/home/ /mnt/home/

/dev/sdb1: LABEL="/home" UUID="a82308f8-c0e9-4fb5-8145-92578432f2a9" TYPE="ext4"

gksudo gedit /mnt/root/etc/fstab

Code: Select all

UUID="a82308f8-c0e9-4fb5-8145-92578432f2a9"    /home           ext4    defaults               0       2

Your mistake was probably using quotes in fstab file.

Should have been

Code: Select all

UUID=a82308f8-c0e9-4fb5-8145-92578432f2a9    /home           ext4    defaults               0       2
No quotes ("). :D
