I'm in a bit of situation here:
I have linux mint 17, and on boot it says Press S to skip mounting or M for manual Recovery
. So I press S
and when I try to login with my username blue
it says
Your home directory is listed as: '/home/blue' but it does not appear to exist.
I logged in using ctrl+alt+f1
and using root
. I mounted /dev/sda7
in /mnt/sda7
to check if my files exist - they are. Inside /mnt/sda7
there are 2 folders: blue
and lost+found
.
The blue
folder is my home folder with all my stuff.
So: how exactly should I mount sda7 in order to fix the situation and how to make it persist rebooting? What is the exact mount command?
Thanks
mount

You probably need to run afsck
manually while the drive is not mounted.

Was there a message before your "Press S to skip mounting or M for manual Recovery" message explaining why you're being prompted? My guess is disk corruption. Try unmounting /mnt/sda7 and then doing fsck /dev/sda7
to check your disk for errors. You can try to mount your filesystems using the sudo mount -a
command
I added/dev/sda7
to fstab and thenmount -a
.
