When i had 9.10 installed i had /home and / on separate partitions but this time, i wanted them both within the same.
I dd'd my old home partion to an external drive, wiped the old partitions and installed lucid but now i cant mount the drive.
im trying to use:
sudo mount -o loop -t auto /mnt/storage/home.img /mnt/oldhome/
but i get an error of wrong fs type, bad option or bad superblock.
fdisk -l shows:
Disk /mnt/storage/home.img: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /mnt/storage/home.img doesn't contain a valid partition table
But in nautilus it shows it as the full 23.6 gb its supposed to be?
