mounting problem

One of our servers are handled to us with not mounted for any directory. There was just 2 partitions. / and /boot. So i wanted to create a partition for /home. This is what i've done in steps.

I created a 30 gb file in dev and format it as ext3. Than mount -o loop, defaults,usrquota /dev/home /home. That was fine, now i get a /home partition but this time, the main / partition seems to be nearly full because of the 30 gb file system. I wonder if The style i am doing this is wrong.
