Is /home on a slice of its own. Mine is, for the reason that if I have 
to blow off the system and reinstall, I can safely do that, as long as 
I don't make any changes to /home, just remount it as /home. You can do 
this with sysinstall, very easlily.

Send the output from 'df', I can tell from that.
