Thanks,
I was trying to find an output that would list all the drives/partitions/mount points/partition sizes etc all in one place. It's probable that I was confused by the partitions that I wanted/ended up with, it was a long day of installation (spent 8 hours pulling my hair out trying to install 64bit ubuntu onto a 32bit computer) and tried 20 different installations. This final installation that worked I definitely installed "alongside" the Xubuntu I put on to satisfy to myself that it definitely wasn't a problem with the computer and brand new HDD themselves.
There were also historical problems with my setup that required using the text-based alternate install CD for the installation so yes, you may be right, maybe I only MEANT to put /home on sda1
uh........... why isn't /sda1 in fstab at all?? That's odd.
I think that I should be adding this to the fstab?
# /sda1 to be mounted to /home
UUID=23006707-b8ef-4fed-b235-28593b53684b /home ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 2
Does that look reasonable?
Code:
brent@Martha:~$ sudo blkid -c /dev/null

I've also got these two screenshots from Disk Utility which seem useful
