My technique is to have home on a separate disk and just change /home in the install partition to a bind mount of home from the other disk (rename the installed /home and make a new empty /home mountpoint first).
This line in my fstab does it:
/zooty/home /home none rw,bind 0 0
Historically I've done this kind of thing with a symlink:
mv /home /home.orig ln -s /zooty/home /
Is there an advantage to doing this with a mount?
