[ubuntu-za] Lost access to storage drive

[Jan]

Disks are fine Wes.

Perhaps the problem is related to the fact that I changed the cables 
around? I see the latest output refers to that:

jan at jan-ESPRIMO-E5731:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type> <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdb1 during installation
UUID=c7c4041b-c5c3-45ec-9920-f90d7d42f7b9 /               ext4 
errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation
UUID=cacaa4c3-a800-40ce-a159-192af760eb52 none            swap 
sw              0       0

I originally connected the disks in the wrong sequence so landed up with 
my main OS on sdb1. Miles suggested that should swap the connecting 
cables around which I did, so now OS is on sda1.

Best wishes,

Jan
