- in case of interest :
my root partition is on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda1 & home partition is on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda2
whereas until now, all booted normally, this week when i insert an old ATA Hard Disk for a weekly backup, it causes booting to be unable to mount home partition on SATA Hard Disk /dev/sda2
Only home fails?
Is your home mounted by label or uuid? Do you have the same partition label or uuid on that old backup disk?
Collision :-)
IOW, OP should fix his fstab so that all partition entries are completely unique, preferably without using device names. Unique labels on the partitions is typically the humanly easiest to manage, memorable, unlike UUIDs. e.g. traditional syntax: LABEL=sata01root / ext4 ... LABEL=sata03home /home ext4 ... LABEL=pata01oldroot /media/oldroot ext3 ... LABEL=pata03oldhome /media/oldhome ext3 ... newer syntax: /dev/disk/by-label/sata01root / ext4 ... /dev/disk/by-label/sata03home /home ext4 ... /dev/disk/by-label/pata01oldroot /media/oldroot ext3 ... /dev/disk/by-label/pata03oldhome /media/oldhome ext3 ... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
