I found the space allocated to /home too small so I used this tutorial to swap the /home and the /MyDocs partition

I have succesfully created /home on the large partition and the device detected it as /home just like the tutorial said.

In the tutorial at step 5 it states that I should edit '/etc/event.d/rcS-late'
it states that I should insert the line "/bin/mount /home/user/MyDocs" after line 24 which contains "/bin/mount /home || echo "Failed to mount /home partition.". the problem is that line isn't there.

this is my fstab:
Code:
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0
/home/opt /opt none bind
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=100, fmask-0133,rodir 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0
/home/MyDocs is in the fstab but it doesn't mount at boot
how do I get MyDocs back?

I haven't backed up anything from MyDocs since I had no files in there so the new Mydocs doesn't have any folders, is it possible the mydocs folder is detected the same way as the /home folder?
