You already have '/swap' and the only other default partition mentioned is
'/home'. Would you be willing to add another hard drive and create on it
/home, /local, /data, /boot2;
mount /dev/home-on-new-disk /home-on-new-disk
cp -R /home /home-on-new-disk;
edit your /etc/fstab to mount /dev/home-on-new-disk as /home;
reboot ?
