Yeah that is what I did not understand. File manager can see it but refuses to
open. a little while ago I let sda8 boot into login & I got a black screen with
a command line prompt in upper L. perhaps from there I could try to reset Home
back to /home? Hmmmm I wonder if I can transfer all the files from all the
folders off that partitions & abandon this install.
I had hoped to save it since I have spent hours installing goodies & tweaking
to get the rig just way I like. I know one thing I not gonna use command line
when I real tired any more.I meant to change the permissions of
/home/herb/Videos but I musta made a typo somewhere.
Thanks Lee if you are stumped I log it up to education & I can just give all
ideas a go, let er blow

Your /home partition should be mounting off the root "/" not under "/media". So
I really don't know what happened!

Okay I had run the permission change to a folder that was in my /home that had
a cam driver I wanted to try & next boot I get to the login screen & a warning
said it could not find /home/herb so if I logged in it would not work. I then
went to the other install & from there I opened the file sys & FM showed home &
herb but when I tried to open it complains that it is not a folder.

herb@herb-elfa:~$ sudo blkid /dev/sda8

Well I yayed 2 soon. .. I cannot boot because it says it cannot find
a /home/herb folder well running in the other pat I can see the sda8
part with /home & /herb there but when I attempt to open it with
filemanager it says it is not a folder?
I looked in property’s>permissions it says permissions cannot be
determined but gives this as location ..
/media/a724d786-cc12-4d7a-8c67-e75cadfbb9cc/home/herb
I hope there is a way to fix this without losing all the files in
there I am backed up except for maybe past week so won't kill me
thanks hhHerb,
Maybe grub is trying to or has mounted the wrong partition.
run "blkid" on when the home drive is mounted to see the /dev/sda8 to UUID
name.

Another question: Is the home partition on a Serial-ATA or is it a USB
Drive?
