Ian,
I just went through something similar when I installed a new drive. Here's what I did to move the user's dirs.
From the parent dir of the users home dirs
1) find ./ -print | cpio -pdm
2) rm -rf
3) ln -s /
For example here's what I did with mine
1) cd /home/e-smith/files/users
* the dir may be wrong since I'm doing it from memory
2) find ./rob -print | cpio -pdm /home/e-smith/files/i-bays/Share/users
3) rm -rf rob
3 ln -s /home/e-smith/files/i-bays/Share/users/rob rob
In my case, this server is setup for home use by only myself and my wife. I mounted the new hardrive under an existing ibay and wanted both of our home dirs available to the other.
Of course, this all depends on having the hardrive setup successfully. If you are having trouble with this, I would recommend doing a search in these discussions for adding hardrives.
