You probably need to be clear about exactly what you mean by added what was /boot to /home...
What did the partition table look like before and after you did the work?On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 6:39 PM, Joe Zeff <joe@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Well, I've managed to make matters worse on my desktop. Before doing a clean install, I decided to clean up my partitions a tad. There's an old partition that used to be /boot until new requirements made it too small and was just sitting there, unmounted, so I used a LiveCD and Gparted to remove it. Then, I added it to /home. Alas, the program hung before completing the job and now, the partition's unrecognizable. Gparted can't correct it and parted can't read it. Using e2fsck from a command line tells me that the superblock is wrong, and I can't work out how to find out where to tell me to look. And, probably because of this, my installation now hangs before it gets far enough for me to get to a CLI. I do have a reasonably recent backup, if all goes bad, but I'd rather not have to use it. Does anybody know how to find it, or otherwise recover the partition? I'm tempted to use touch /forcefsck, to see if that works, but somehow, I doubt it. Advice, or pointers to suggestions will be very, very welcome.
