I decided to change the /home directory inside the file system and move the homemy /home directory to a separate parition. But, since I am using more than one linux distrosdistro, I am seperatewant to separate the /home/home directories as something like thisfollows:

/dev/sdax/ubuntu /dev/sdax/debian /dev/sdax/suse 

After copying all the neccessary files to this folder, I changed the /etc/fstab/etc/fstab to mount the new /home/home location as the default home drive

/dev/sdax /homedrive ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 /homedrive/debian /home bind default,bind 0 0 

Now, soas far as I can see while starting up debian, it is mounting the folder properly, but but while I am tryingtry to login it give it gives an error:

Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user-name/.ICEauthority

And after closing that message I get:

'ThereThere is problem with the configuration server (/usr/libexec/gconf-sanity-check-2 ...

What's going wrong?
