Ditto... I like being able to put in the new drive and start the rsync while
I'm still using the old home.. once it finishes, shutdown, boot to since user
mode, rsync again to catch files that have change, swap the fstab entries,
reboot/manually swap mounts, and you are on your way with much less downtime
(assuming /home is large, this can be a big time saver).
