Format oneother partition and mount it; with rsync you can copy all file
present in /home to the new partition (check with "who" if there are
some users log on). After copy, you can change (adding) mount istruction
for new partition in your /etc/fstab file, move /home directory in
/home-old and create new directory /home for the mount-pointer ad mount
new partition, by mount -a (or mount /dev/hdxx /home).
