moving /var and /home to a new partition

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi Ganina and others;

I ended up doing a command like this:

mount /dev/hda4 /mnt
cd /var
rsync -a * /mnt

>From reading the man page on rsync it seems that using the -a parameter is 
like using recursive, simlinks, preserve owner, group, device.

Took some reading on using labels in fstab but I think I got it right.  I 
just don't know where to make the needed modifications so that I don't edit 
fstab directly to add the new /var partition.
