/dev/sdb5 = /home => /devsda5 - at login can't chdir to /home/phr -> left in "/" - but then "cd" works ?!
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.
