    Hi all,

    I’m running Ubuntu 11.04 in Parallels 6.0. I have a typical installation in that the VM uses one disk image as its hard disk. I’d like to separate this into two disk images: one that will be mounted as /home and one that will be mounted as / (i.e. containing all of the system files). My home folder changes frequently, but the system changes less, and I’m trying to cut down the space used by each Time Machine backup. Is there an easy way to move my existing home folder and move it to a disk image?
