/home is a mount point, not a partition. You don't mount anything over it,
you mount something on it. So you mount your new home partition on the /home
mount point. You then mount your old home partition on another mount point
and copy the data from it to your new home partition.
You get into all these problems because you will make simple things
complicated. Note the command is mount and ignore my slip-of-the-pen mnt.
You could do the same thig with /opt. But why not cross one bridge at a time.
Worry about a separate home for now.
