Hi,
on my Debian GNU/Linux (sid) i have (among others) a partition
which is mounted (normally at startup via /etc/fstab) on /home.
But in a few cases (say six in the last months) /home silently isn't
mounted. Since then I have "debug" as option in /etc/fstab. In this
cases I log in as root and do a mount -a which works with a few
diagnostic messages (see below).
Today it didn't work the first time, but the second.
I checked the drive (IBM IC35L040AVER07-0) several hours with IBMs
"Drive fitness test" v. 3.01 but notwendig problem occured. Any
ideas what's happening here?
