find disk name
sudo fdisk -l
create partition using gparted and format using desired file system
find mount point and mount it temporarily
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
cd /mnt
ls -ahl
sudo rm -rf lost+found
sudo cp -rp /home/* /mnt
ls to confirm its contents
backup original home
sudo mv /home /home.orig
sudo mkdir /home
sudo mount /dev/sda7 /home/
df to verify mountpoint
for persistent we need to edit fstab
backup it first in case of mistake we can easily revert
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig
sudo editor /etc/fstab
editor can be gedit,mousepad,nano,vim anything
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

use uuid for better flexibility. you can also use address like /dev/sdax
use blkid cmd get uuid,label,partuuid, info
sudo reboot now
