  Howdy, The easy way to make cPanel start using it is to mount it as /homeN so /home2 or /home3 and so on. You can change your fstab in etc and cPanel will start using it. Thanks!

  Log into your server via SSH umount /data mkdir /home2 edit your /etc/fstab and change the line /data and put /home2 be sure to enable the quotas (make it look the same as your primary home partition) mount /home2

  In /etc/wwwacct.conf, make sure to set HOMEMATCH to 'home' (no slash). cPanel will automatically provision to whatever /home* folder has the most space available. If you only want it to provision on /home3, set HOMEDIR to /home3 and blank out the HOMEMATCH directive. You can use the rearrange accounts function in WHM. There's a way to do it manually from command line as well.
