Tried this in both AWS and GCE as I though it may be a specific cloud vendor issue. SELinux is disabled, lsof | grep home shows nothing, lsattr /home shows nothing. Simply get "Device or resource busy."
Works just find on 7.2 so I'm kinda at a loss. Scanned over the RHEL release notes and didn't see anything. Anyone else have this issue? We move our /home to another mount point and symlink /home to it ..
Do you have access to the console, so that you can try to do the move while in single user mode?

that is one possibility.
even greater is op is a 'user', not 'root'.
_normally_ / most, if not all unix/linux systems, /home is owned by 'root'. which means *everything*, including a 'user' home directory is own by 'root'. therefore a 'user' running a normal user can do _nothing_ to his/her 'home' directory.
therefore a normal user *must* 'sudo' or 'su' to make changes to users 'home' directory.
hth.
