Hi,
Now I'm pretty pissed with myself as i managed to fuckup the partitions on my
laptop.
I've got 2 partitions one with 50 Gb the other with 250 Gb.
Unfortunately they contain the wrong things.
/ is 50 Gb
/home is 250 Gb
I want them the other way round really.
What would be the best way of trying to achieve this?

Your thanks were very polite. :-) Let's not overreact; no harm, no
foul.
Hopefully you're aware of the guidelines now,
I think I know what the other guy was reacting to. Although to a non-US person
it might not be overly obvious, so;
Simply pointing out what was inappropriate rather than go trolling on a
mailing list in a thread that was pretty much closed and done with would have
been the proper way of handling this.

I really like how you quoted my reply which thanked someone for sending input
to my question and saying I should be banned to post to the list ...
OK, I'll never thank anyone ever again ....
Your thanks were very polite. :-) Let's not overreact; no harm, no
foul.
Hopefully you're aware of the guidelines now, which are linked at the
bottom of mail messages. All the community asks is that you abide by
them now that you're aware of them. Thanks in advance!

Excessive for a first mistake, especially if it's not repeated. Many
don't grok (or read) the rules until gently reminded.
Cheers,
Agreed. No one should be banned on a first offence, particularly when
the offence occurred during a moment of panic. A simple "please don't do
that again" is more than sufficient, I think.

Thank you David and Heinz for you input.

You can do it with Logical Volume Manager,
assuming LVM was used to create the partitions.
This is a procedure I use to remove the /home partition completely and
grow the root partition into the available space.
/home should be empty / or backed up..
In this example I want to remove the /home partition and reallocate
the space to the / partiton to increase it's size.

This seems quite fine to me. Anyway, if you want to change this, the
easiest way would be to make a backup og both on an external drive,
repartition and copy the data back. You can do that using rsync:
rsync -avxHSAX / /external-hd/root
rsync -avxHSAX /home/ /external-hd/home
and the other way round to replay the data. Notice the subsequent "/"
in the source directory.
