too small linux partition?

Hi,

Ok, if I am reading your right, you now have /dev/hda7 mounted on
/home.  If you try to unmount /home the system reports it as busy.  Are
you logged in as anything else but root?

If you moved "mv" all directories and files that were in /home and then
mounted /dev/hda7 as /home then you are done.  The directory itself is
part of the / file system, the data is simply stored on /dev/hda7, I
assume that /dev/hda1 is /?
