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

    You probably need to run a fsck 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 then mount -a.
