Moving Users folder to another partition

In case I ever need to do this:

1. tar -czf archive.tgz /Users move to new drive then tar -xzf archive.tgz
2. remove /Users
3. ln -s /Volumes/Mydrive/Users /Users

Instructions from Patrik Montgomery at a Macintouch Readers Report from December 2001. It should probably still work, though.
