Just installed kubuntu 12.10 (root partition only) to replace 12.04 on one of my computers, and made sure to preserve (not write over) the pre-existing /home partition. But now I have a new /home directory inside the root (/) directory, and the original /home directory is not mounted. fdisk -l shows this: Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders, total 195371568 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x282d282d Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda2 206848 61794303 30793728 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 61796350 195371007 66787329 5 Extended /dev/sda5 61796352 67848191 3025920 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda6 67850240 87379967 9764864 83 Linux /dev/sda7 87382016 195371007 53994496 83 Linux So, what is the best procedure to replace the newly created /home directory and replace it with the previous (original) /home directory? Both are ext4 and both have the same owner and group names. Can I just add /dev/sda7 (the previous /home) to /etc/fstab (contents shown below) and will doing that delete/replace the new /home directory? Or are additional steps needed? joe@T60: cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # / was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=864ca0e6-f82c-4394-b497-012083b40115 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=dc56632c-3c80-4f8e-87e1-2a1d65ddc281 none swap sw 0 0 FWIW, 'df' currently shows this: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 9611492 3895244 5228008 43% / udev 1540144 4 1540140 1% /dev tmpfs 620500 820 619680 1% /run none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock none 1551244 80 1551164 1% /run/shm none 102400 8 102392 1% /run/user Also, what is the procedure to mount /dev/sda2 (the windows7 partition) so I can access certain files on that partition. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
