simlinks
i have 2 hard drive on my system, running suse 8. one drive is being used, and the other is a vfat drive with only mp3's on it. i am almost out of room on my first drive, i want to move my /home and /bin to hdb which is pretty much unused, ok anyway, can i just copy /home and /bin to hdb mounted as /windows and have /home and /bin on the main partition hda2 be simlinks pointing to the corresponding directories on /windows (hdb) ? or should i do with fstab? im not really sure how to do it, i have an idea andi have backed up my fstab as fstab.old just incase i mess up, but before i did that i figured id ask here first, here is my fstab file if it is any help :
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdb1 /windows/C vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
thanks for the help.

one more thing, if i am going to change my fstab then i would do it like this?
/hdb1 /home vfat defaults *0 0
/hdb2 /bin vfat defaults 0 0
*im not sure what to do with the numbers on the end, imreading man pages now.
