Re: Ubuntu 8.10 sees my home partition, sid of Dec. 25 doesn't

Late on Dec. 25 I rebooted my sid system and my home directory is no
longer visible to my system even to Grub. It contains my home
directory. An Ubuntu 8.10 live CD sees it just fine. I normally keep
everything updated unless apt-listbugs shows.

FWIW it's /dev/hda10 on a 40GB drive. The / directory which is
/dev/hda9 is completely visible and boots just fine.

Is anyone aware of any changes at that time that would cause this?

Any diagnostic ideas?

What filesystem is it?
ext2 (maybe ext3 but I don't think so)
What is the output of 'mount /dev/hda10' on the sid system?
mount: special device /dev/hda10 does not exist

Just before that on the screen from booting is:

[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /home] fsck.ext3 -a -C0 /dev/hda10
fsck.ext3: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/hda10
/dev/hda10:
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -r 8193 <device>

fsck died with exit status 8
File system check failed. A log is being saved in /var/log/fsck/checkfs if that
location is writable. Please repair the file system manually. ... failed!

Try running 'fsck /dev/hda10' on the Ubuntu system.
/dev/sda10: clean, 60498/507904 files, 852048/1014095 blocks

Thanks,

Paul
