login as root in Lenny then type these commands #umount /home #mkdir /mnt/home #mount /dev/sda9 /mnt/home and see if all the files are there in /mnt/home if things are right type #rsync -av /mnt/home /home or if you dont have rsync you can also use #cp -r /mnt/home /home # cp /etc/fstab /root/fstab.old now comment out or remove the line from /etc/fstab that has '/home' in it. reboot and login as root and type #mount you should not find any partitions mounted as /home now go and see if all the files are there in /home. Enjoy Kubuntu ;-) **You can do without reboot if you know what you are doing and are careful but I guess it is safe for you to follow the reboot step so you are sure*** --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
