sda8 - The problem install is Debian 8. It had been my primary work
install until I trashed some data files. It has been kept to
reconstruct those files as I have time.
Two questions: When did this start happening?
Not sure. Noticed it recently after fixing a long standing problem
involving a bad UUID for the swap partition. Debian installer
automatically changes the swap's UUID when a partition already
identified as "swap partition" is used. I can sort-of see why it's done,
but I find it a *NUISANCE* ;<
In view of the portion quoted above, why bother?
A forensic/educational analysis of just what I did to mess up what had
been a nice and well working system.
There may still be useful data there.
Also, there are programs there I use rarely that I don't want to lose
for now, but can't justify adding to current install. When disk space
becomes critical, I'll likely move it to a flash drive.
