[ubuntu-za] Lost access to storage drive

[Jan]

Good morning all,

On restart this morning all is fine again, however, I restored my system 
via Timeshift anyway to get the lost letterheads to show. It worked.

The default restore options in Timeshift appear to be to leave /boot on 
root device and /home also on root device. Bearing your previous 
comments in mind, should I not select /home to be kept on sda1?

Have a good day and week end.

Jan
