I just finished reinstalling Hardy, up to date, on an IBM 13 G
drive that had the / Partition corrupted by fsck. Went to some
length to prove the drive was not faulty and the drive has worked
for several days since the reinstall. In doing so, I used the Alt.
CD, reformatting the / part and preserving the /Home partition and
also reformatting swap. Have done this on this same machine on a replacement HDD successfully but this time I find /home in my /
part on the IBM drive. Is there a way to change things so that the
original preserved /home partition on the IBM HDD will be used instead
of the one in / part? Welcome if anyone knows how this may have happened
so I can not let it happen again.
