Hi, Somthing really weird just happened to me. I turned on my computer and after a completely normal boot up I got into the GUI longon menu where I entered my name and password. I then got a message telling me that my home directory is registered as /home/andrei (which is correct) and that it was missing?!?!?! I was given to choice to boot failsafe or to sign on as root.
I immediately did a ctrl+alt+F2 and logged on a root. No prob. I switched into /home and indeed it was empty. 14GB of data were missing! I then decided to re-boot the machine and to carefully look at the bootup process (which I had not done the first time). This time nothing abnormal happened, I logged on as 'andrei' and got into my usual GNOME desktop. Eveything was back to normal. Now I have only one hard disk, a MAXTOR 4K080H4 of 75GB with three partitions: hda1 on / (10 GB with 6GB free) with ReiserFS hda2 swap (252MB) hda3 on /home (65GB with 50GB free) with ReiserFS Since the computer booted up this was not a hardware disk-crash. Somehow my /home partition did not get mounted during the bootup process. I never had that happen on any GNU/Linux system I have ever used, which includes pretty much all the major distros, a couple of minor ones, and several years of intense Mandrake and Debian use. Does anyone have any idea what happened to my machine and how I can prevent that from happening again (-: other than never turnig off my computer that is :-) Thanks, Andrei _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
