People,

I installed a new disk with F34 and made the old disk with F33 on it the backup disk - but I continued to use partition /dev/sdb5 mounted on /home while I sorted out stuff. When I finally rsynced everything from /dev/sdb5 to /dev/sda5 and mounted that on /home I got this weird problem - I have never seen it before:

When /dev/sdb5 is mounted on /home everything works as expected but when I umount that drive and then mount /dev/sda5 on /home and try and login as user "phr", I get an "unable to change to dir /home/phr" message and end up at "/". However, if I just type "cd" and enter, I end up in /home/phr and everything seems to be working! The dirs, files and permissions on both partitions seem to be identical so I am stumped about what is causing this login error . . any ideas?

Thanks,

Phil.
