We do a bunch of symbolic links to move specific files.  You could do
more or less.  We know that what we do works.

If you move / to /home/root2, I believe the system will have problems
booting; my guess (supported by general knowledge but not specific
research) is that at boot time you won't have /home/root2 mounted as
early as you want it mounted.

Of course you could change the mount order, but that's a bit of surgery
I wouldn't want to do on an appliance updated by packages.
