Brute force method. Backup up home directory. Deleted the partition. recreated two.
Old partion was ext2. New were first ext2 and second FAT. After recreating two
partitions, I just said 'mount /home' and it worked. So I deleted the backup and that
was the mistake. I should have checked after reboot...

Partition table was updated but ext2fs header on partition were reflecting same old
size. I thought the fact that partition is retained on disk as it is, helps you
always. Commenting entries in fstab slipped my mind. I was in a hurry to set up an
internal web server. Basically I wanted same documents served by APACHE on linux and
NT. So I needed a FAT partition.
Anyway It's all gone...
Any idea why mandrake behaves crazy on compiles? I downloaded KDK 1.2 and tried it to
compile but it aborted with error saying that only absolute paths are allowed in
libtool command. I hacked the offending makefile but no luck.
I downloaded KDK mandrake RPMS but they wer conflicting with hazaar other rpms.
Fortunately none of them were serious. All about few .xpms. Any way I am changing my
opinion about mandrake. The fact that they have hacked every other package and have
an .mdk in it doesn't play good many a times. I am not sure every package/tarball I
download will work.

P.S. Don't use opera. It's a neat browser but eats memory like godzilla. Wait for
some more time till they fix it.
