managing partitions made unbootable home

amy

I`ve been resizing the partitions using gParted at liveCD, and it changed the partitions names, then the ubuntu is unbootable.
Also I think that the /home is still pointing to older place.
/ is /dev/hda5, and /home is /hda6 now.

how do I fix it  ?

thanks

You'll need to boot the live cd, open a terminal amp; post the output of:

Code:
sudo fdisk -l
the -l is a small quot;Lquot;

Give us a little more detail of how you repartitioned...did you create a new separate /home, which version of  you're using?   Anything else you can think of that might help you find a solution.

hi,
I`m using kubuntu 704.
I read the ubuntu-guide, and fixed the grub, it`s booting right now.
but it didn`t find the /home partition (it was out of / partition yet)
the /etc/fstab partially looks like this:Code:

# /dev/hda5
UUID=ce66b1b5-d6cd-4a4f-ac72-bde8cea98022 /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/hda6
UUID=d0614651-6b84-42da-9afa-7481dfea53c3 /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
the sudo fdisk -l printed it (partially ):Code:
)
/dev/hda5             724        1997    10233342   83  Linux
/dev/hda6            1998        2841     6779398+  83  Linux

thanks lot for helping me.,

Here are a couple of ideas.

In a terminal, get your /home UUID and compare it to the one in fstab.Code:sudo vol_id -u /dev/hda6
Also, here is my fstab for /home:Code:
UUID=a961b624-ed15-4878-b66f-bb2d007b74a4 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
I have an entry for Places/Home Folder that opens Nautilus, and in Thunar my username (home folder) is at the top of the tree.

hth....

merlinus is right, it's probably that your UUID's have changed...Herman suggests this command to see the UUID's of all your partition filesystems:

Code:
blkid
You might also want to check the UUID's in your kernel entries in your /boot/grub/menu.lst, as well as your /etc/fstab amp; make sure they're correct...you can probably just copy amp; paste the new UUID's into your menu.lst amp; fstab.

Hi,
I used the blkid command and pasted output in the uuid of the partition on fstab, and everything is right now.thanks lot everybody;
