Jza Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I found my home folder was empty, no user folder, X couldn't boot and well just basically nothing was going on. I do remember the last time I was using it, I used modprobe -r yenta_socket but nothing happened also depmod. But that is really unrelated... My question is how can I know what happened, I went to the /var/logs/ but didn't know what to look for, errors, warnings, and others didn't really show me anything. I would like to know where I can tell what who when did the home disapeared. :| [moved from Security by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Could you explain in details your hard drive / partition setup? Also post your /etc/fstab file. Maybe your /home partition is just not loaded somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jza Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Thanks for repliying at this moment I can't really post it but it looks like the fstab is unafected. When I put dd just / partition, no swap, no /home/ no sda5 (external hd). This lead me to think that is about the Kernel. However I still have no idea what to look into. dmesg doesn't report anyhting odd. I wonder 2 things, how can I check the modules status and see if they are enable or not. My FS are: / is ReiserFS /home/ is XFS sda5/ is Fat32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adriano1 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Well, it looks too like you have no home partition. So can you please post that fstab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
