So all of /home is on a partition but just your home folder is gone? Have you ran a file system check on that partition? Do you have backups? Have you checked lost+found on that partition for files?
Also just so we have a better idea of the environment could you please give us the output of these two commands? sudo mount sudo fdisk -l Thanks, Alan Jenkins On 31 May 2013, at 21:00, David King <linux...@avoura.com> wrote: Nothing is encrypted. I should point out that /home is a separate partition to root, but on the same hard drive. Most of my data is on other hard drives.

When I boot up and get to the login screen, I enter my password to login and it does not load the desktop, but goes straight back to the login screen. And just now my home folder literally just disappeared. I can see other user folders in /home but not for my current user, although I am still logged in. I am using Ubuntu Studio 12.04 XFCE and it is up to date, the last updates were applied this morning, although the problem has persisted for a while now. Although today is the first time I have lost my home partition while logged in. This is a real nuisance. I can see home folders in the same partition for other users (from other distros I have installed on the same PC) but not my own. Any ideas why it keeps getting hidden and how to prevent it getting hidden?
