Just installed kubuntu 8.1 as a clean install on a new hard drive.
My home directory is safely on a 2nd hard drive.
edited /etc/fstab with this line to mount new home
/dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev, nosuid 0 2
However, when I reboot the login menu only shows the user I set up as a default to get the installation going. When I login in I got an error message stating that home was not found using ./ Clicked ok, then just cycles again to the login menu.
So, I used vi to delete the line, rebooted and I was ok.
So I edited /etc/fstab with this line to mount a new home
/dev/sda1 /home ext3 defaults, errors=remount -rw 0 2
My login still only shows the default user, but I can log in. The line in /etc/fstab is noted as an error and it is skipped over.
I've used a couple hours scouring google links and the forums and can't find a solution that exactly fits my situation.
Would someone be so kind as to help me out with this?
Thanks in advance!
