        Yep, you just need to change the line in /etc/fstab that starts

        /dev/mapper/centos-home /home
        

        to

        /dev/mapper/centos-home /home/samba
        

        Sure, you could resize the partition, but if the box isn't used for anything else it won't cause a problem. /home is normally put on it's own partition to keep users from bringing the OS down due to running out of drive space. If users aren't going to be using anything but the samba share, then that's not going to become an issue.

            @travisdh1 I might rename the logical volume as well, make sure to unmount /home first.

            umount /home
            lvrename /dev/centos/home /dev/centos/samba
            mount -a

              @travisdh1 I'm going to fast while multi-tasking tonight, can you tell? Don't forget to put the correct path in /etc/fstab if you rename the logical volume.

                      @travisdh1 So I did that as seen below, but I'm still running into that space issue. It's putting everything into the root folder. I'm sure this is something obvious but I'm not seeing it. Any ideas?

                        @wirestyle22 We have to figure out where the files are going then, since they are not going into /home/samba like we thought. 'du -h' is what I'd use for this, it will show you the amount of storage used in the current directory and sub-directories.
